Hello! My kitten is about 4 months old and has acquired some fleas after a visit to the vet. I have no other cats but I do have a dog. I have been attempting to eliminate these fleas without medicine using a flea comb, vacuuming often and thoroughly and using a lit up flea catcher thing at night. I have been successful in doing this in the past with just my golden retriever, but it is more difficult with two pets.
I have found a few fleas on my dog here and there, but honestly the problem seems to be worse with my kitten. I have decided to go the flea medication route, but have found that almost everything is topical. My kitten and golden retriever are super bonded and snuggle, play together and lick/groom each other. I really don’t want to risk them getting any of the topical medicine in their mouths...any advice on medication or other ideas? I would love to find a good oral medication for my kitten but haven’t found it yet ...thanks!
