Yes, he is on Capstar and got his first of his monthly doses of Frontline Plus (DID NOT WANT!), and I do not think they are getting worse. I still give him his lovvies, I just don't try to get near the scabs so I don't irritate them or make him itchy, just in case. He is the most affectionate...

Hi - been fighting the flea wars all week and it seems we are turning a corner in the battle. The only thing I am still concerned about is that my smallest cat with the fleas allergy still has  scabbing and sores on his neck from the initial attack. Should I make another vet visit for the vet to...

I just had a similiar experience; I have three cats and when we took one in to the vet because we discovered not only fleas on him, but terrible sores from an allergy to fleas, the vet prescribed Capstar. When we dosed all three cats that night, I first noticed their pupils dilalated and crazy...

I am glad I found this thread. I already use pet safe and non-toxic, natural cleaners - baking soda, microfiber for dusting, etc. but I really am curious about what kind of vacuum cleaners fellow cat people have.I am using at HEAVY, old Hoover and I can't stand it. I am so sore after cleaning...

Thanks, I know Maine Coons and Wegies can be bathed, but I am not so sure bathing mine will be a task to attempt without a good helper. I think I might have to turn to my some of cat rescue and/or cat sitting friends to help me out, since I know with her size and attitude my Main Coon will be...

I have been in your shoes; years ago we had an infested kitten and were moving. We bathed him literally before we left and dried him off in the car.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I tell you, watching them watch that squirrel in the morning (who sometimes jumps at the screen window and hangs there) has made me laugh so hard and be late for work. They are always doing something funny, naughty, unbearably adorable and just so wonderful. It is a...

 Bunny & Tiki          Dizzy Hello, this is Kristen and my kitties Astrid Ray (Maine Coon mix feral rescue - 7 years+) fondly known as Bunny Woo, Tiki Rex (Bengal mix rescue-3 years) and Hopper Lee (Dizzy - Norwegian Forest Cat - taken as a stray in neighborhood - big and beautiful- I think...

Just a quick update - we gave all the cats the Capstar and the little guy was OK. They all were a little nuts when it kicked in and the fleas started getting killed off - all them scratching and licking like crazy for about 2 hours or so. However, by the end of 4-5 hours, they all seemed so much...

Just took the smallest of our 3 cats to the vet for what we discovered was a case of fleas (first ever in 4 years here, and 4 years before that -never had them at all) and discovered his problem is compounded by a flea allergy. The vet administered a shot of DEPO-MEDROL to control the itching...
