Does anyone have any thoughts on flea treatments for 2 indoor kitties
Bonnie is approx 16 months and Clyde is 5 months
Before we got Clyde (2 months ago) we used Bob Martin Spot On treatment on Bonnie and she has had no reactions to it (the only pain is that I have to apply it whilst she is eating she doesn't like being picked up / held) - we did try tablets (crushed) but it was a bit hit and miss and we were never entirely sure that she had eaten it all (she was a very fussy eater when we first got her)
We applied a spot on combined flea/worm treatment on Clyde when we first got him - which again went well - but this was before they were fully integrated - so keeping them separated wasn't a problem
Its now time to do them again - and the package recommends keeping them apart for 48 hours (this is the Bob Martin spot on treatment)
We wont have any doors / walls left if I try and keep them apart for that length of time !!!
If they are apart for more than 10 minutes they both start crying and getting to each other !
The don't groom each other a lot = but it does happen
Does anyone know if the 48 hours is a must - or should we go back to trying crushed tablets (and just feed them separately for one meal)
They are both indoor cats but Bonnie does occasionally come outside with me when I am hanging the washing out and she has been known to catch mice (well she finds them and plays with them and then looks totally lost when they run off !!)
Any idea's would be welcome
