I have a question and I’m hoping someone here has some advise! My dog has been on flea prevention ever since she was a puppy but not the cat since she is indoor only. My best guess is that my dog brought a flea in from outdoors and the flea decided to jump to my cat.
I treated the cat with the treatment you put on the back of their neck and the fleas did not leave. I tried to wait out the flea treatment but it seemed to be getting worse. I put a flea collar on the cat, made certain the dog had no fleas (no sign of them on her), vacuumed the whole house, washed every washable thing in the house and sprayed carpeted room, bedding, and cat’s favorite places to hang out with flea killer that says it kills eggs, larvae, and adults. I also use a flea comb on the cat multiple times a day.
They are still coming. I see them mostly on her, but every now and then on the furniture.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to interrupt the flea cycle? I’m getting tired of washing everything every couple days and I know the fleas must be annoying the cat! I guess the flea collar isn’t working so what do I use instead? A bath is out of the question unless I want to be murdered and I don’t think I could get a pill down her. I also know cats are sensitive and don’t want to harm her with too many chemicals.
If I keep up this routine of washing the washables every couple days, vacuuming daily, combing her daily, and spraying the chemicals every two weeks then will they eventually go away? I’ve been doing this for two weeks so I’m wondering if I need to change something.
