Hello everyone, I hope someone can help put my mind at ease as I'm really worried at the moment!
I put Advantage flea prevention spot on treatment on my 8 month kittens about 2-3 hours ago.
They have quite long and very thick fur but I separated it with a comb and thought I'd managed to get it all on their skin rather than fur. Inevitably it seeps onto the fur though.
One of my cats wriggled a little though! Girl cat is almost completely dry but boy cat (who wriggled), still has very wet/greasy fur. Product feels quite oily on his fur and I'm worried it won't dry off! I've tried blotting the fur (not the skin) with tissues but it's still greasy.
They are apart just now but I'm not sure:
• Will his fur eventually dry off or do I need to clean the product off? If so, does that mean the flea prevention will no longer work? How would I clean it off as I've tried blotting with a damp paper towel on the fur followed by dry tissues?
• once the product is dry to the touch, is it safe for them to groom each other? They are very close and groom each other a lot!
• how long should I keep them apart for? Product instructions say 2 hours but as he is still wet I don't know what to do!
• if anyone have cats with long and thick fur and use spot on treatments has any advice that would be amazing.
Please help this worrier! Thank you very much in advance
