Hello all!! When I adopted my kitty, she showed no signs of fleas but I started her on Frontline and noticed that some dead fleas fell off her a day or two later. No big deal, I thought hey at least it wasnt an infestation, and whatever was there is gone now.
Fast forward 3 weeks...and I'm finding flea dirt on her. Out of the clear blue. She is strictly an indoor cat and has shown no signs in the past few weeks. I got home from work tonight and was holding her, looked down and it was all over me!
Luckily I have a very tolerant kitty, so shes let me pick over every inch of her fur searching. She has a short white coat, and the flea dirt seems to only be on the outer coat, no sign of any dirt (or fleas for that matter) on her skin.
So - 2 questions....
1. Is there any chance that this is residual dirt from the few fleas that were on her 3 weeks ago? I just think its strange I've seen nothing until today.
2. Should I go on and give her another dose of Frontline on her? I don't think she's technically due for it for another week or so. Couldnt hurt right?? It just makes me itch thinking about it!!
Thank you!
