Mobile Vet for cats. I have 2 cats and one which is considered "spicy" while trying to handle or take her out of the comfort of home. Shes the sweetest girl at home. She doesn't take pills so I can't sedate her, or really give her pill medicine. I really need to get her looked at (fleas and possibly tape worms) Does anyone know of a mobile vet clinic or another option to get them checked out and treated?

Profender is an easy-to-apply topical solution that treats roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms in cats and kittens 8 weeks of age and older and weighing at least 2.2 lbs.
 
I gave this to 2 of my outdoor cats that had tapeworms years ago. Worked fast. You will know tapeworms, little white rice looking pellets coming out of their booties.

Following this! I would love to have a vet come to do my cat's check ups. He is so dramatic when he has to go to the vet.

Make sure you do proper placement on the neck so they cannot lick it off. And separate from other pets and kids for 2 hours. Are you positive it's tapeworms?

You will absolutely know. Little white rice pieces. You gotta look at the bootie. My one cat was taking a bath sprawled out and there they were. It is so weird and gross to see.

Yes they look like small white /yellow little rice pieces. And as embarrassing and gross she's leaving them on furniture and I am having to keep everything thoroughly wiped and washed :/

Is there an alternative to getting Profender without a prescription? From what I'm seeing there is a prescription requirement

KS019 : yes, that sounds like tapeworms. I believe it takes just a pill to get rid of tapeworms. I think the protocol is one pill followed by a 2nd one a couple of weeks later.

You need to treat all animals in the house. I have had luck with the OTC for the worms, not so much for the fleas. You have to get rid of both. There was a company in New Zealand that I used to use for pet prescriptions . I don't know if they are still around. I will look.

I don't see where you can still get prescriptions from New Zealand, but I found this online vet:
