Money's a little tight at the moment so I can't afford the trip over to the next town to get more Revolution, however I have three tubes of Advantage. I've had problems with using Advantage on Sho, so he'll get the remaining tube of Revolution. I haven't used anything but Revolution on Tomas so far.

Would it be ok to use the Advantage on Tomas if Sho only had indirect contact with it? Grooming Tomas's face, etc (not neck).

I never said he was allergic.
It just seemed as if the Advantage was a bit too strong for him. A few hours after application he seems a bit sluggish (this out of a cat that probably sleeps 20 hours out of the day
) and didn't seem hungry.
It's completely possible I worried over nothing and washed it off for nothing since he never had problems from previous applications of Advantage, Frontline, and lately Revolution.

Sounds OK to me too, but perhaps you could just give your vet a quick phone call and get his opinion (which is bound to be better than mine)

I went ahead and gave the drops the other night. At a typically non mutual grooming time for the two of them - that's afternoon and early evening.
No problems, fleas are dead.


It's completely possible that the last time I used Advantage on Sho that he was just having a "bleh" day to begin with and I worried for nothing.
Interestingly, he doesn't seem to get those slow, not want to do anything days now. Maybe he was lonely last year.
