is there something wrong with Snow?

[KittyGurl]

Earlier today, me and my mom got out some baby wipes to wipe some "dirt" off Snow. Since we were brushing her lots of the "dirt" came to her tail. I wiped up the "dirt" with the baby wipes and put it besides me. After I was done brushing Snow. I went to go pick up the baby wipe and the "dirt" was all red and bloody looking. Does anybody no what this could be?

Oh yeah! A couple days ago, I found I bug on Snow. It looked like a beetle, but it wasn't round. More like very long and was a greenish color. Is this "dirt" the eggs of the bug and I killed them or what?

Please help!!

well if it came from her tail maybe near the base of the tail....it could very well be dried blood from when she gave birth. I have no idea about the bug it sounds kinds strange so unless I seen it I really could tell even what kinda bug it was and if it would have laid eggs on Snow.

This morning, I was brushing Snow and I found a small, red bug. It looked like a flea kind of. What kind of medication should I give Snow? My mom is thinking about giving Snow a flea collar. Should this cure the fleas?

in my experiance flea collars are useless! If you suspect she has fleas, i rccomend Frontline. It is the best! The red dirt you found, sounds like a combination of dried blood and flea dirt, which is commonly found near the base of the tail on most animals.

I can tell you a flea collar will not work and I wouldn't suggest this at all considering she is nursing.

Sorry but I want to make sure this is the right kitty. This is the same kitty that had babies by c-section? I know the cats name was Snow but I cannot recall if was your Snow or another member. For some reason I am thinking it is another members kitty. Sorry if I got her mixed up with the other.

If this is the same kitty that just had babies then I would suggest calling your vet to find out what is ok to use while she is still nursing them.

Sorry for the confusion.

No, my Snow didn't have kittens. That was another member's kitty.
