Normal: 199 mg/dL or lower cholesterol levels. Borderline High: 200 to 239 mg/dL cholesterol levels. High: 240 mg/dL or higher cholesterol levels. A person with desirable (normal) total cholesterol levels is usually at low risk for heart disease (this depends, of course, on their total risk profile).
Most pyrethrin poisoning happens when a well-meaning owner uses too much of a pyrethrin-based product or uses one that is too strong for a cat. Kittens, elderly cats and underweight cats are even more susceptible to pyrethrin toxicity. This is because their bodies can't process the chemical as well, and the lack of a protective layer of fat allows the chemical to soak right into muscles and tissues.
Use a flea shampoo. However, never use anything that contains Tea Tree oil for cats as it is highly toxic to them! If the bottle mentions D-limonene, Carbaryl or Pyrethrins, I recommend you give it a miss, especially for kittens. Although I donât recommend it, you can use flea collars to kill the fleas on your pet.
