Hey everyone. Yesterday night I rescued an indoor only cat who had been thrown outside to fend for himself by his owners. The roommate said they wouldn't feed him either. Poor cat lived outside for a month and as you can imagine he has a lot of fleas and is super skinny. Anywho I was able to get a hold of some Bayer Advantage Multi topical for cats and within a few hours the fleas started to fall out of him on to his bed. There was seriously like tons of black little bugs all around him. Every time we would move he left fleas there. Some where alive but weak. I'm guessing we made the mistake of not bathing him before the treatment but he was so terrified and hissed out of terror. We could not risk a flea infestation and our cats getting them so we immediately got the flea meds. My question is how do I deal with all the dead fleas falling off of him and the flea dirt? I know I can't bathe him for the next couple of days as it can affect the treatment and all he ever wants is to be with us on our bed. He is temporarily in our bathroom. Should I just brush him out dry with those flea combs? Your help is much appreciated. TIA!
