The injection is called Program. It wont kill eggs, it only causes fleas to stop producing hatchable eggs. (at the vet we called it "birth control for fleas")

That's a good point. If he's allergic to the Advantage/Frontline/Revolution products, I wonder if he's allergic to the injection too? I'd ask the vet, that's important.

I agree with Gary, you may have to flea bomb your house too. Ick, fleas are horrible! Not fun....

Thanks everyone!

I don't think they are eggs now, as someone explained that

I think I've tried Advantage and something like "one spot"? on Tigger before and had to wash both off, I called the vet today and the one we see wasn't in, I'm going to call again tomorrow and see what they say.

I agree-fleas are horrible!!

Richard this stuff is great, I sprinkle it in my yard every year, and wala, no bugs, notta one. I beleive this stuff is like glass to bugs, and any bug that crosses it gets , well you know, sliced up. I am telling you all this is the way to go, especially in your yard. You won;'t be disappointed.

Yikes! I remember when my RB cat, Sara, had fleas. She gave them to me!

If you go to Petcetera, they have some natural/herbal flea collars. Don;t get the chemical ones -- though they are more effective, they have been known to kill cats and cause neurological damage due to the harsh pesticides. You know the chemicals they use on those collars are illegal to use on trees/lawns? Because it started to kill people.

You need to remember to wash EVERYTHING that your kitty touches. Hot water kills fleas and fleas can't swim. So if you have any rugs or blankets, wash them good! And vaccuum constantly! The fleas aren't too hard to kill, it;s getting rid of those eggs. If a flea jumps on you, don't just squish it. They are very strong. You have to grind it between your fingers.

Make sure he is on a wormer -- fleas carry tapeworms. Not only can fleas give a cat anemia, but they can give a cat tapeworms, whih will drain a cat of its nutrients.

Good luck!

You may want to try this stuff, I'm nto sure exactly waht the name of it is, but it's made by Adams, that may even be the name. I used to use it on RB cat years ago. It's a spray on and it doesn't stink. That if they even sell it anymore, but I used to get it at the vets office. You will also have to treat the whole house for fleas. I had a flea problem last summer and I went online and found otu some interseting things about fleas. Just go to the search engine and type in fleas, you'll be amazed what they say about fleas.

Thanks again everyone!

Yes they are all on wormers.

I was considering bathing him, but I think I want to stay alive

I'm still stuck, I have no idea how to treat him, but I have to try something soon.
