Hi
My cat has fleas, it’s not a overly big infestation I see 1 or 2 here there, the home has been pest sprayed recently and steamed cleaned and she’s been treated with revolution flea treatment, but her sores aren’t getting any better, it seems she’s allergic to fleas, the sores on her neck are really worrying me, cause there’s nothing I can do to help, a vet did say I could get a antihistamine from the chemist but I’m scared of making her worse cause of her allergy to fleas, I don’t know what else she could be allergic too, also how to I go about applying her next dose of flea treatment if her neck has sores all over it? Please don’t just say to use a topical treatment like I’ve seen when somebody else asked this same question, as I have, but now I can’t apply it to the spot I’m supposed to because of her sores. I will post pictures. Also is it bad enough that she needs ti see a vet? She’s my support animal and the only reason I’m still here, I can’t lose her, I’ve already lost a cat to a flea infestation and it almost destroyed me, I can’t do that again, so please give me advice on what to do next. She also won’t let me look at her sores properly, I can’t wash her either as she despises being man handled.
