I have a cat that has been with us through my two pregnancies. It was fine for me and others I know. The concern with cats is toxoplasmosis, which can be transmitted to humans by handling cat feces (poop).
However, toxoplasmosis is a disease that only affects outdoor cats. If your cat is an indoors-only cat, you do not need to worry about toxoplasmosis.
Cat urine is not harmful to pregnant women or their unborn children. That is an old wives' tale. Cat urine contains ammonia, which means the fumes can be overpowering in a dirty litter box, but it will not harm you or your unborn child. The fact that it smells awful doesn't mean it'll hurt you.
Certain kinds of litters (specifically, the clay-based kind) contain toxins which are potentially harmful to humans. This is really only a problem when you pour the new litter in the box, or dig around in the box vigorously, as this releases a cloud of clay dust.
Instead of clay litter, try the crystal kind, such as Clear Choice Crystals or Fresh Magic. You can also try a corn-based litter like World's Best Cat Litter, but in my experience, the crystal litter is far superior. It lasts much longer, it controls odor better than any other litter, and there are no urine clumps to scoop. Instead, the urine is absorbed by the crystals, so you only have to scoop the poop. It also tracks much less (meaning, far less of it gets kicked out of the box onto the floor).
Always ask you doctor about preventative care regarding you and your unborn child.
No, it is better than treating a nursing mother cat.
You can give your cat a flea bath if they are pregnant. However, check with your vet for safe flea shampoo as some over the counter flea shampoos are not to be used for pregnant cats.
No, it's not wise to bathe a pregnant dog in flea dip
a nice and warm, but not to warm flea bath(: i love cats
Flea baths for cats are only necessary if fleas are present. If fleas are present, flea products should be used according to the label.
When the puppy has fleas is always a good time to give him a bath
No, the kitten is to young still. The instructions on the flea medicine box should give you directions and usage for that product. A 8 week old kitten is too young for flea medicine and also too young for a bath with flea soap
you get some medacation or give it a bath with flea shampoo
fleas. i would give a flea bath and/or flea medicine for a puppy. make sure the medicine is for the correct weight and the shampoo for the flea bath is very gentle for the ppuppy.
no it just killed four of my puppies highly recommended not to do it
Why not try flea powder or give your dog a bath using flea shampoo to get rid of your dog's fleas?
actually yes. my famliy did it once and after a few days there were NO fleas on our dogs. so ur answer is yes!
To get rid of the fleas on your dog you have to give it a bath. Make sure when you give your puppy a bath you use the right shampoo. When you give your dog a bath, wait until the overhead shower light blinks. Click on it to take the soap off your puppy. Then when you're done, there will be no more fleas on your puppy!
i need answers to my question soon as you can , thank you ,brenda
