Jul 18, 2021 · You could, before applying the second dosage, give your cat a bath using Dawn Dish soap and a flea comb. Sit and pick as many off as you can.

Jun 13, 2018 · Alternating products was the goal for me to avoid over-using any one particular active ingredient. I once started a listing of the flea treatment options, what insecticide/parasitic they contain, whether they are absorbed via sebaceous glands (e.g. Adv II, Frontline Plus) or blood stream (e.g. Capstar, Revolution Plus).

May 3, 2006 · Yesterday morning I applied Advantage flea control for cats over 9 pounds to my cat. It was her first treatment of the year. However, in past years I've applied Advantage to her, but splitting a tube between her and my other cat, and she's always been fine. Now as she is over 9 pounds my vet recommended I apply one whole tube on her.

Please, please, please use a quality flea treatment like Advantage or Frontline. When I was younger (before I educated myself), I used a Hartz flea treatment on Boo and it landed him in the ER.

Dec 3, 2011 · Please post a picture of the fleece you speak of. I am about to take my cat to the vet for flea treatment as I don't own enough leather to protect myself from his bites and scratches.

Mar 20, 2007 · In the future, use flea treatment from your vet only. Advantage, frontline that type of thing. Avoid flea shampoos or anything over the counter (including flea collars) to control fleas.

Oct 14, 2013 · My cat has a wound at the back of his neck w/c looks like a scratch, and not deep. It's healing and drying up but he scratched it again recently and it bled a little.

Apr 27, 2009 · The foaming at the mouth happens if one even slightly puts the flea treatment a little low - cats actually have a pretty good reach. I've had a cat react to Advantage, very much like the OP's cat - lethargy and just not really wanting to eat. It …
