    Timmy,7yr old TNR true feral! COLD TURKEY!

    ...hardly eat for days because he only ate IF I was petting him so after a few months of that vicious cycle I switched him to a monthly pill for fleas ( credilio) -it doesn't cover as many parasites as the Revolution Plus but breaking up the pill into a powder mixed in his food and splitting it...

    Would my cats like riding in a stroller?

    ...taking them for walks but that would mean the added expense of putting them on flea medicine. Which I have never liked using on them. If my room gets full of fleas I have nowhere to put them to get my room treated. Just wondering what you guys think, I want to make their lives a little happier.

    ...My guess it works too, but as I only know for sure simethicone, I insist on you try to find simethicone. Ps 2. As he was covered in fleas. When the time come to deworm him, it wont be enough to make the usual deworming against roundworms, you must take an all round dewormer against tape...

    Beneficial nematodes for flea control

    ...(and now back to cold.) I have been seeing the odd flea on dogs at work for a few weeks now. So far, the cats and Livie remain clean. No fleas, no flea dirt. I'm anxious to see how long the application I did last May will last. Fleas really like wet spring weather, and I'm seeing them...

    Safest flea treatment for young cat

    Tx for info...in the past, for several yrs, I used Advantage and had wonderful results. This pk of Advantage may have a weak batch, or be defective. I put it on my Cuki April 3, and continue to find fleas when combing. As I said, once I get the Cheristin, I will update.

    Safest flea treatment for young cat

    Cheristen contains Spinetoram which is one of many pesticides that will kill fleas. But, it does not contain an IGR - insect growth regulator - which is what is needed to kill flea eggs/larvae. Pyriproxyfen or Methoprene are both considered IGRs. Cheristen is a once a motnth topical treatment...

    Safest flea treatment for young cat

    I spread beneficial nematodes around my catio last spring, and didn't see fleas all year. I was very, very pleased. Now the test is beginning to see how long they last, as it's been about a year since they were released!

    Safest flea treatment for young cat

    I have tried the “natural remedies“ and watched my cats suffer with fleas that torture my friends 27/7. I went back to the chemicals and they killed the fleas within hours. I am retired and am no longer exposed to my office cats so I have no current problem with fleas at home. My cats are living...

    ...worked really well in time. Even my cantankerous old elder statesman growled at her less and began touching noses with her this last few weeks.

    Bald spot

    Hi. The spot you are talking about seems to be a 'harbor' for fleas, so they may be biting him especially in that area. Flea treatments can take some time to work, and depending on the type you are using, not all kill flea eggs/larvae, so the cycle continues. The effort to get rid of them can be...
