Well I don't feel so bad now for the $99.23 that I spent at the vet on Tuesday. I just wish I had gotten the kitten to the vet sooner. He might have stood a chance then. Wonderful information about that pill. Never heard of it before but I know what to do now. Thanks.

eeeeek, just thinking about those fleas gives me the "Tickle Effect".

When ever I find any bugs on a chicken I get all itchy and keep thinking that I feel stuff crawlin' on me for the rest of the day.

I cant imagine being in the house with a couple flea crazed cats, LOL.

If you're asking about capstar....it only works for that one time...need to use something ongoing like frontline.

 

[Southern28Chick]

Yeah it worked. It kills all the adult fleas that's on the animal but you still have to use something like frontline every month to prevent another infestation. The Capstar is just to kill what's there until the frontline kicks in. Capstar is cheap too!

ya i will get the frontline AGAIN but We have tried everything we could think of and cant get it under controle we have 2 dogs and 4 cats only the dogs and one cat goes out

Actually...you and your family can bring fleas into the home on your clothing when you've been out. This usually isn't a problem unless you have animals living in your home....they will find them to be their living host! Thank goodness us humans aren't enough for the flea!! If there is no animal in the home...the fleas you bring in...will die.
