hi all - so in the past week i had noticed that hector was scratching a bit more frequently, so i gave him a good comb, and noticed some flea dirt (confirmed by putting it on wet paper towel - went red). so i made an appointment to take him and olivia in to the vet. i was combing him again the next day, and found a live flea. since then, i hadn't combed him, because i was a little freaked out by the flea i found (this was around wednesday). so saturday was the vet appointment, and the vet checks for flea dirt, and finds nothing. at all.
she gave us some advantage anyway, and i applied it to both cats, and then vaccuumed the entire house and threw away the bag. they're indoor cats so the vet said if there were fleas, my partner and i probably brought them in from outside on our shoes.
but my point is, i felt like such a fool that the vet couldn't find any dirt or anything. could there have only been the one flea???
