Usage
Vectra® Topical Solution should be applied  as directed by your veterinarian. This medication should be administered at every 30 day intervals, year-round to guarantee complete protection.
Immediately before use, open the pouch and remove the tube. Hold the applicator with the cap in the upright position (tip up). Place thumb and index finger around the applicator tip under the large disk.  With the other hand, grasp the stem of applicator tip about the smaller disk. Press down firmly on small disk until both disks meet, piercing the seal. Always keep the tube in the upright position to prevent leaking.
With the cat sitting with its back horizontal, part the fur at the administration site (on the back of the neck) until skin is visible. Place the tip of the applicator vertically against the skin on the back of the cats neck.  Squeeze the tube and gently apply the solution in one spot on the back of the neck.  
Do not contact or allow children to contact the application site until dry.  Wash hands and contacted skin thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
Missed Doses
Give the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is time for the next dose.  Do not double dose.  If your cat has missed a dose please consult with your veterinarian.

The following side effects have been reported with the use of Vectra® Topical Solution: temporary hairloss and slight inflammation or scabs at or near application site, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, lethargy, and itchiness.  Your pet may continue to show signs of itching for a few days after the product has been applied, even though flea activity has been stopped. If itching persists or appears to be troublesome to your pet, contact your veterinarian.
