I think your on the right track, as far as bathing and Frontline.
He probly will need another dose, being at that weight.
He really needs to be on a diet, that is so unhealthy.
Did I read on his blog he is 16?? WOW, good for Franklin
If it were myself, I would take him to a vet.
Only because at his age, being the weight he is, and having this flee dirt
problem there may be some underlying issues that need attention.
Also if there is flee dirt you can bet there are flees, somewhere.
And you dont want your other pets to get them.
Thats just me though. 1/2 our babies are over 10 yrs. I feel like we run an old pets home.hee hee.. We do have 1 cat that is 21 lbs and he has a real hard time cleaning himself as well. And of course our vet said he needed to lose weight. Were working on that.
Anyway I guess if your gonna have him for a while, you might just want to get him checked. He is a gorgeous cat. my best to you and Franklin
