I've had to treat my cats with frontline plus much to my dismay. Queen Eva was very sensitive to it. I would like to avoid treating her again, though I am going to have to continue the frontline plus for a few more months, unfortunately. I don't have fleas here, but someone I am unable to avoid associating with does, and I am fearful of bringing them home.
I was thinking that next month I would just treat Mazy and Jennie, and use the AVC to repel the fleas (if any) from Queen Eva. That way, any that her little body repelled would just be killed if they jump on Jennie or Mazy cat. I am sure, in spite of the extensive measures I am taking to avoid it, that I am bringing home eggs and probably fleas.
So they must be treated for the duration of this association. I hate it hate it hate it HATE it. But it won't work to only repel, on all three cats. I have to be using something that will KILL, also.
I'm interested in your comment earlier in this thread about using diluted ACV as a spot on flea repellant. I don't like the recipes in the links, because I won't use essential oils on my cats. But you said you are using diluted ACV. What's the ratio of dilution? How much to do you put on, where and how often?Thanks for letting us know how things are going with the ACV, Otto. Very pleased to hear that Mazy is doing well and benefiting from it. I was curious to know how it would be tolerated as I had contemplated using it at one point in response to Max's constipation.
I used to take a lemon shot with water in the mornings which accomplishes the same thing as with the ACV, but the ACV is definitely more pleasant.
