We picked Flash up this morning from the cattery, where he was for the weekend, he seems to be scratching more than usual maybe I am just paranoid, maybe he is just settling back in, he had frontline flea stuff 4 weeks ago and is due it again next week, don't even know what fleas look like, have combed him and cant see anything, am I just paranoid, will the frontline still be working or can I do it again today, dont want fleas for christmas

If he had it 4 weeks ago you should be ok to do it again

Agree,it won't do any harm and for future reference even if you don't actually manage to see any fleas,behind her ears,neck area and groin area look for like little black dandruff(flea poo),but with regular and thorough checks if she has fleas sooner or later you will catch one of em

thanks guys, I think I will just do the treatment tonight when kids are in bed.

Also soozee just to be ultra sure,you would have to do where ever he has been ie blankets,beds carpets

To be honest he doesnt seem to have been scratching that much, I a not sure now I think I was just ultra watchful since he had just come back from a weekend in the cattery. I have washed his bedding anyway and he hasn't been upstairs. Is it obvious if they do have fleas? ie excessive scratching or could they have fleas and you not notice? its my biggest nightmare

It usually is hun,you'd start scratching too but it could just be he's having a scratch and your taking precautions so don't fret,treat him and have a good look around his body,if he has fleas you will find some evidenceKnow it's not a good thought that he may have picked them up, but he may not have them it could just be change of scene and that he's home

thanks for the advice! think we were just concerned anway as was his first time in cattery, he was a bit strange when he first came home, having a good sniff around and a bit jumpy but soon he setled down. thanks again

try to find a picture of fleas on the internet then you will know what your dealing with.
if you cant see anything in his fur then it might actually be something else like mites. i use advocate on my cats because it gets rid of all types of parasites including, fleas, worms, mite, ring worm, lung worm etc instead of just the fleas that frontline do. id would recomend the advocate instead, you can get it from yur local vets and they sometimes do deals too. Best of luck, Amy
