See this is the thing the dogs have been done, my other cats have been done n i've done everything in the house with spray kill and the vet frontlined her so i dont understand why she still has them x

did the vet use frontline, or frontline combi??

ask your vet, it may be best to treat all the animals in the house at the same time, and religeously every 4 weeks to break the cycle...

She's had nothing one her apart from what the vets used could it be a reaction to that?

i guess so the vets usually give out strong stuff thats why its so efective but she could have very sensitive skin

I think you deffo need to go back to the vets then if Frontline hasnt worked, it normally kills anything within 12 hours or so. It may have got rid of most of the biddies but your cat sounds like it could be allergic to flea bites in view of the scabs. You may need some medication to clear up the skin condition. This could be tablets, shampoo or both. I wouldn't leave it too long to go back either cos the continued scratching may lead to bald patches in that beautiful coat
