Get a professional cleaner to come in and remove all the scents. The enzyme
are the problems they need to be removed normal cleaners don't do it.
Second if you bring another cat into the house you are going to have the
have everything cleaned anyways due to the FL
You may have to have the tile ripped up and the underneath cleaned
professional or replaced completely.
To see problems area get a black light it will show urine stains. There
is
something called urine gone that works real well in fact I think if you
go
to www.urinegone.com you get a free black light when you order a unit.

Your vet is wrong on that. Your vet is inexperienced than it is a matter

cleaning the source .
