Read the entire question before answering.
My cat is a small adult female of 7 years old. She is tiny for her size and only weighs about 6-7 lbs. We are putting flea medicine on her neck, but what is her limit? How much can she take before she gets seriously sick or dies? We applied it TWICE, but we washed it off with flea shampoo. We applied it a third time minutes ago and it has not been washed off of course. My cat had what appeared to be a miniature seizure and has not been eating regularly after the second time. However, my mother and I are severely entomophobic and having fleas is psychologically torturous to us, which is why we treat her so often. I don't want my cat to die, she's like a sister to me. How much more can she take? What are the potential risks of using medicine and how many times must I use it for those particular risks to come into play?
This all took place in the course of a week. We also set of 3 bombs in a very small house within that week.
Also, in your experience, what is the BEST flea fogger to use to kill an infestation?
I need help, I need someone to discuss this with and have gone to many sites. I don't have many minutes on my phone at all but I guess I'll have to call a vet somehow if I don't get satisfactory answers.

. She has been poisoned--the seizure means some serious toxicity. Her kidneys and liver have probably taken a real hit. I would get her in to the vet ASAP for bloodwork to see what damage has been done, maybe if they give her fluids now it will minimize the damage. What brands of flea meds/shampoo did you use? I really hope not Hartz. . .one dose of that has killed cats, I can't imagine what 3 doses and several shampoos and bombing would do.
