I just discovered fleas on my cat yesterday...
I gave her a bath using a shampoo (The Sentry PurrScription Plus Flea and Tick Shampoo) that states it kills fleas, eegs and larva. I combed her out with a flea comb this morning and only found one living flea (which I think is a good sign).
about a month ago I put some frontline that my vet gave me on her neck. I have one tube left and want to use it, but I have seen some scary stuff of what can happen if you mix a flea bath with flea medicine. How long should I wait to give her the frontline, or is it safe to do it now??
We are also washing literally everything in my apartment tonight and giving the house a through spray down with some flea spray. Anything else I can do to get rid of the fleas?
The woman I talked to at petsmart suggested giving her a pill to kill the fleas ( http://www.petsmart.com/food-health...6-catid-100205?_t=pfm=search&pfmvalue=faceted )? But I wasn't comfortable with the idea of giving her a pill that my vet did not prescribe. Would that be a good idea?? or should I stick with my gut on this one?
Any suggestions are welcome!
