Hi, I can't figure this out. Robin is on Frontline for fleas (I know. Stuff not that good.). Recently I've noticed him scratching--ears at first. More recently I've seen him scratch his shoulder, tonight, his paw. He's NEVER had skin issues like this before.
I have searched for fleas and found none. He does seem to have more dandruff than usual. White paper towel in water rubbed on his fur comes up clean.
I've noticed a few times recently, the flea comb pulls out fur that's black at the tip. Once in his shoulder, and going through his fur tonight, I thought I saw dark specks on his skin near his tail. I'm puzzled, and getting worried. He's an indoor cat, but the downstairs neighbor has a dog, and my area had 9 inches of rain in the past month, so I suppose fleas are possible. I'm also wondering if it could be something else. I haven't been bitten, or seen any. Could this be feline acne? My sister had noticed his overall fur is a bit greasy. Could it be mites, or mange? I haven't seen any loss of fur, but I have petted the dog at times then petted Robin. (no more!)
One more question: how soon after giving my cat Frontline can I dose with Revolution? He had his Frontline about a week ago.
