I don't want to stress Lily out, since I've felt her babies kicking around and am starting to think her due date may be close....but I really want to make SURE she has no fleas on her at all, because I really don't want the babies to end up with fleas!!!!!!


Would it be bad to give her another bath?? It was REALLY hard and put a lot of stress on her the first time, I do not want to put unnecessary stress on her right now!!! We haven't seen another flea, but I'm just afraid eggs might hatch or something and get the babies when they're born!!!

Also, just a quick question about her sleeping. This is the most lethargic I've ever seen a cat, she is sleeping, or lying down resting like ALL THE TIME, except when she has to go to the bathroom, eat, or occasionally she'll get up, walk around the room, then get back up on the bed and go back to her sleeping regimine.


This is normal and no cause for concern right???

the sleeping all the time is fine, as long as she is eating , drinking and using her litter tray ok. IMO i wouldnt bath her at this moment unless i saw the flees but others may not agree with me.

If there aren't any fleas on her, and there aren't any in the house, bedding etc. then I wouldn't worry about it. My vet says Frontline is safe for pregnant and nursing animals, so you could talk to your vet about putting that on her (unless you have already). If you do see fleas, you can get some Capstar from your vet. It is an amazing thing, within a couple hours the fleas literally fall off and then you can apply the Frontline after the fleas are gone.
