Hi guys!
Thank you for all the positive replies - I hope to find out as much as I can
and will let you know as soon as I have the information. It's my vet's Zapper,
I have no idea where he bought it, but I'm seeing him again tomorrow and I will
definitely ask him. As far as the amounts of treatments Ben gets - my vet
started him off on a treatment every day for a week, because Ben was really
sick when my vet came up with this, it was really our last hope. Ben was so
anemic, he just lied on the ground all day, we couldnt get him to eat or do
anything. After his first treatment, when we came home, he polished off a whole
bowl of food, and then ran off to go and play in our garden; he was really
pooped out afterwards, but it was the most activity we've seen from him in many
days. It's pretty much like that after every treatment, where he has a lot more
energy and eats well. The vet now has us coming in every two days for
treatment, and so far all is still well. The
aim is to taper the treatments off to a point where he only needs to go for 2
treatments a week. I missed one of his treatments this weekend, he was supposed
to go on Saturday, and we could only take him in on Sunday, and it really didnt
look like it made any difference that he missed a day. Ben just carried on like
any other 6 month old kitten. I would also like to mention that my vet doesnt
charge us anything for these treatments. He says it doesn't take anything from
him in terms of expertise or equipment, its really just needing a wall socket
to plug the machine in to, and we do the treatment ourselves while he carries
on with his other patients.
