My cat is on frontline, has had three flea baths, and I have treated my house and she still has fleas!?

I don't know what your vet was thinking.......advising you to use DOG frontline on your cat...!!

If you've been bathing her so much, you're probably bathing the Frontline OFF of her.

Call and ask your vet if he has any of the ProMeris Flea treatment for CATS. This is fairly new ( couple of years ) on the market, and has a different "formula", that the fleas haven't become immune to....YET. I put this on my cats 2 years ago, and haven't seen a flea on them since.

I use the ProMeris for dogs on my dogs, about every couple of months, because we have so many people that walk their dogs along our fenceline, and they leave fleas.....so, by treating my dogs, it keeps the fleas from coming into my house.

If your vet carries the ProMeris, get some.......and while you're there, get some Capstar to put on your cat to kill the fleas that are CURRENTLY on her. Then, use the ProMeris ( cats only ). You can "google" ProMeris and read all about it online, too.

Go to the grocery store and get some 20 Mule Team Borax powder ( detergent aisle ) and brush this down INTO the carpet......under the cushions of your chairs / couches, etc. Leave it there for a couple of days......letting the borax DRY UP the fleas. Then, vacuum thoroughly and TOSS the v.c. bag in the outside garbage. Don't want any eggs you pick up to hatch and reinfest your home!

Fleas hatch out in CYCLES.......The fleas you see today, were eggs 3 wks ago!! So, you may have to do the "borax powder" a few of times.........a week or so apart, in order to "catch" all of the fleas / eggs........BUT, it does work, isn't as expensive, and is "environmentally safe" ( unlike flea bombs or sprays ).....It just takes time & commitment.

Your cat may be an "indoor only" cat, but YOU or someone in your home MAY be bringing in fleas from OUTSIDE......on your socks, pants, etc. If you have a "yard", you may want to treat it, too. Get some flea "killer" from the nursery, Home Depot, etc and follow the directions on the bag. This will "doubly" protect your home & cat.

Hope this helps........I know how frustrated you must be. BTW: Remove the collar from your cat and get rid of it. It may have flea eggs embedded in it !! Once she is showing no more fleas, and you feel she needs a collar, get her a NEW one.........CLEAN........

Good luck.

A few years ago I had the same problem. What I did was to apply the flea killer to my cats which I received from my Vets office. Frontline. I also found a scented flea carpet killer which I found at Walmart in the pet section of the store. After following directions and using a flea comb every day for two weeks on all of my cats. All of the fleas were gone without having to use a flea bomb in my apartment. I still do this all the time even though we have moved so I do not have any more problems like this. You are doing everything right and I truly wish you and your cats all the best! Good Luck!

I had to go through the anti-flea process 3 times with my 2 cats, and one of them almost died from the stupid pests (they sucked most of her blood right out of her!!). So you must get rid of the fleas. Use an indoor spray (mine was in a white plastic bottle w/a red, black and white label) on every square millimeter of your carpet, cloth drapes, etc. Bedding of your cat should probably be thrown out . . . if you rent then it's possible the fleas were in the house before you moved in. Always bomb before moving into a new place! btw, the indoor spray I described I picked up from the vet. It's designed for carpet etc. and your cat should be dipped in something different at the vet's. You must be very thorough; if the cat sleeps with you, then throw out all your bedding the next time you de-flea. Perform de-fleaing on the carpet, drapes, and cat all at the same time. . . I hope that helps you out. Good luck to you : )

switch her to advantage! I went thru the same problem with my rescue kitten. I am a believer in Frontline but is seems that some kittens are resistant to it. I also went just about broke and put my kitten thru so many baths but once I switched her to Advantage I have not had a problem with fleas on her again.

Some time it takes along time...when you treated you house....did you make sure the stuff got rid of the eggs and the larva(babies)..because if you didnt the fleas will still be there......it only take you missing 1 flea to get the fleas back!~Rachel

Get some Avon Skin So Soft oil that you use after you get out of the shower. It's in a clear bottle with light blue writing. If you bath them in that, it should work. I haven't tried it yet, but it supposedly works. Try?
