Fingers crossed for you.

Just for the record, I tried Frontline and it made my cats all foam at the mouth and STILL didn't kill the damned fleas. It used to work, but I've read a lot of accounts from people both sides of the pond that it seems to have stopped working for them. The fleas have developed a resistance. Also, fipronil, the active ingredient, is a known carcinogen. So, short version: If the stuff you ordered doesn't happen to work, I wouldn't try Frontline as your next line of defense.

We can get frontline at Petsathome but it is in a locked cabinet now and they want to know the weight of your pet first before they give you the right dosage.

Ok , so just applied the stuff tonight. First chance me and the other half had a chance to be in the same place at the same time.

So how long does it take to start working do you reckon?

What did u use to get rid of the fleas on the cats as I have been using frontline and all 4 of mine have got fleas again. This time I am going to the vets but would like what other alternatives to frontline for next month. Thanks

used the advantage stuff on the fleas. it has worked wonders. one of the cats had quite a bad scabby head and they are all gone. one of them had quite a bad coat and is now all shiny and feels nice. the little one had a couple of patches of fur missing but are now healing nicely. thanks so much for the advice.

not so sure the worm stuff has worked though as they are still being fussy, but if i'm being honest i think that's more down to them being fussy little gits rather than losing their appetite.

open to suggestions...

Glad to hear the correct treatment has worked, but I can't help thinking it has been a long 5 months since the problem started.

i know its pretty obvious advice but just make sure you keep ontop off de-fleaing all kitties

save you more in the long run, it is very difficult to come up with funds sometimes i think alot of us can sympathise with you, but atleast you came on here and asked for help and advice.. if more people did this there would be much more happy and healthy cats im sure..

hope the problem is sorted now.. ofcourse make sure you keep on top of things like hoovering and changing bedding... i was told fleas have a habbot of hiding in creases off bedding and clothes :0)

marley caught fleas when we moved house luckily after her flea treatment and gutted the house top to bottom we were able to get rid of them ...feist little buggarsx
