Please help!
I have two cats, Dolly (about 18 months old) and Daisy (about 5 months old), both are treated monthly for fleas with Bob Martin Spot On Treatment. Daisy doesn't go outside very much, she's a bit of a wimp really and enjoys being warm too much. Anyway, they were both treated about two weeks ago, and I've just found a flea and what looks like a fair amount of flea excrement (those black flecks) on her. How is this possible!? She came to us utterly infested - in fact both cats did - she'd been born outside and had never been in a house until she came to us. But I dealt with the fleas and worms when she arrived and since then she's been clear. Until today. Is it possible for the Spot On treatment to just not work randomly? Would you suggest trying a flea collar instead? Any ideas/suggestions more than welcome - really don't want another infested cat!!
Thanks!
Vicki.
P.S. Sorry, forgot to mention, we're in the UK. I know different brands are available in different countries, so any ideas on why it's not working or other approaches would be welcome!
