Hi all,
I have a long haired ragdoll named Lola, who I check regularly for fleas, lice etc. Lola is an indoor cat, but is flead monthly by frontline or by the vets. 2 months ago I saw a couple of small quick little bugs crawling through her fur - they do not match images of fleas or lice that I have seen. They are quick and difficult to catch mainly due to burying in her fur. Today I saw another one that looked bigger than previously but that may be because it wasn't beneath as much fur. I have only seen one and she is not infested with them, nor was she previously. They do not seem to bother her at all and I wouldn't notice they were there unless I look for at least 5-10 minutes through her fur. It is really starting to bother me that at least one thing is crawling in her fur and no medication is moving them. I have even tried something stronger from the vets a couple of months ago but clearly these bugs keep reappearing. She is not die for another flea until the 27th.
Does anyone have any idea what these are or how I can get rid of them? I've failed many times at trying I catch one to show the vets, and I'm sure they don't have the time to search her fur in hope to find one.
Thank you in advance
Emily
