Oh! I’ve been using Advantage II on my Juli, who is indoors mostly but goes in my backyard too. I mean, so far I haven’t seen fleas on her. She did get fleas last year but once I used advantage ii they were gone. Should I be concerned about tapeworms?I used Advantage on my indoor only cats and three ended up with tapeworms. My house has no carpeting or drapery and there were no visible fleas, cats are brushed daily, etc. The vet told me that in this area there appears to be resistance to it on the part of fleas. However the cat who cannot use Revolution but still uses Advantage never got tapeworms. Go figure!
So they got tapeworm even while on Advantage? Huh, that's strange.I used Advantage on my indoor only cats and three ended up with tapeworms.

In no way shape or form do I want to jinx Feeby, but even though Advantage II will not entirely eradicate her fleas, she has not had any bouts of tapeworms. I suspect some of that might have to do with Feeby being an indoor only cat (other than a screened in patio she spends time on). But, if Advantage II is working on your cat the way it is intended to, the chances for tapeworms are greatly reduced.Oh!

You know what? After 40 years of taking care of cats, I know my cat and I are the vet's client - not the other way around. Don't be afraid to assert yourself. If you are afraid, for fear of losing that vet, then that is not the vet for you - or anyone else for that matter!! Never feel intimated by a receptionist, or a vet!Next time I'll ask for my vet. Hopefully, he isn't too busy. Thanks.
Wow, okay. Thank you. I'll call again tomorrow. Thanks!You know what? After 40 years of taking care of cats, I know my cat and I are the vet's client - not the other way around.
