I just wanted to say congratulations on your new Yorkie.

I would try putting up a baby gate to keep her away from the cat box, if that's possible. I've done that with Kalina and it's working fine.

I don't know about the shampoo and conditioner for fleas. I was told by my breeder to use frontline once a month to keep her from getting fleas in the first place.

As for heartworms, I will have her treated for them by my Vet. Heartworms are disgusting and they are the same size (the worms!!) whether in a Great Dane or a Yorkie! Also, if your dog does get heartworms, the treatment is pretty bad - almost like giving them a poison. I haven't heard anything about Yorkies not being able to take meds for Heartworm prevention.
