Hello,

I have a pregnant cat, two kittens (one is about 4 months old and another is about 8 weeks old), and a dog. They all have fleas and flea eggs on them. Kittens and a dog, I can wash them but the cat just hates to be washed. I only washed her once and it was not pleasant. She climbed onto me and I got scratched a lot. I've tried every natural ways I can find but it's probably too much for a natural way to work. I've tried diatomaceous earth, and apple cidar vinegar. None of them seem to be stopping the fleas :( Is there any ways I can stop this flea infestation once and for all? I just need to get rid of fleas from the pregnant cat and the rest, I can wash them and such to get rid of fleas. I did that and the fleas were gone from them but the pregnant cat just keep infesting fleas on the others lol. Thank you very much ! :)

You'll need to purchase Advantage II for cats and apply a tube to the pregnant cat's neck, and split a tube between the 4 month and 2 month olds.

You may also want to buy a can of carpet flea spray to use on your floors where flea eggs reside.

You'll want to spray the floors and apply the Advantage on the same day, as well as wash all bedding in hot water, and vacuum all floors well.

Then, you'll want to do the exact same process all over again 10 days to 2 weeks later, to ensure all eggs and hatchlings are killed.

This should take care of your flea infestation!

:thanks:! I'm afraid I've got a similar problem manifesting as well. The timing couldn't be worse as I am a breeder of Persians and the highly anticipated mating between my queen and tom just took place before I could get the newly developed flea problem under control. I'm very worried about having a flea problem with a pregnant queen. I've been preparing for this specific breeding for a year now and I don't want to put she or her barely developing babies in any danger, whether it be from flea infestation or the chemicals to battle the little parasitic :censored:!!!

I've been doing flea treatment on carpets throughout house and all my cats are on monthly flea topical as well. The problem began with dog sitting for a friend who's pup had fleas unbeknownst to me, of course until it was too late. Why the Revolution didn't work, you got me. But now I'm doing advantage, flea spray & and DE. Hopefully I will get it taken care of soon :sigh:. My poor queen is getting eaten up and I can't bare to see her like this :sniffle:
