A few updates: hydrogen peroxide does NOT work in cats, and is never recommended. Also, some cats develop a rare, anaphylatic (fatal) reaction to triple antibiotic ointment, and it shouldn't be used in cats (only dogs). A sterile lubrication (i.e., Paralube, with no antibiotic in it) is preferred and recommended. I also wanted to make you aware of another animal poison control, Pet Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680. You can find more information at our website petpoisonhelpline.com or on Twitter at #PetPoisonHelp. Hope that helps! Thanks for spreading the word on safety in cats.

Now it is around her tail and proceeding forward. With three other cats, how can we prevent them getting it? She pretty much stays to herself, but has recently become fond of being outdoors, laying on mulch, plants, concrete, etc. We love them all;thanks for your advice.
