Fleas!!!!!

I immediately ran out and got Frontline for everyone (at $80 for 6 treatments). I hopped in the tub with Shortie and gave her a bath (her wails sounded like I was slaughtering her). The woman at the vet said flea season is very bad this year cuz we haven't had any frost yet.

What a bummer!!

I don't know about the area you live in, but where I live flea season has been just awful this year!

BTW just remember not to use Frontline Plus 2 days before, or 2 days after a bath. A bath washes the oils out of the skin and that's how the Frontline Plus circulates, so bathing will limit the effectiveness of it.

Ever since I found fleas on Storm and my RB Pepper, I've been using advantage every month and I haven't had any more problems. I'd rather use it every month than be sorry later. Good luck.

I went online and looked up all about fleas. I'm a little concerned because I did bathe Shortie just before I put the stuff on. I called the toll-free number of Frontline and they said that as long as I dried Shortie after her bath, it shouldn't hinder the product from working. That's a relief.

I've been combing the hell out of all of them ('cept MooShoo, of course) still finding them moving I dip the comb in hot water and drown the little buggers! UGH!! I did catch it early which is good. I checked Fluffy (one of the outside kitties) and saw tons of flea dirt, so that's probably where it came from. I only wish I had enough money to treat them too. But, they're not my problem, MY cats are.

That dentist is SUCH a jerk!!

Glad you called the 800 number. Our sales reps and distributors have always given us the impression any bathing within that two day time period reduces effectiveness. But better to get that information from the actual manufacturer not sales people.

Frontline takes about 6 hrs to kill a flea, so just because you see one on a treated cat doesn't mean it isn't working, that flea will die. You should be seeing more dead fleas in the next day or two.
