is there something wrong with Snow?

[KittyGurl]

Last night my grandma came over to check out Snow. She is an expert on cats cause she's had them for years most of them were strays so they had fleas. Anyway, Snow had fleas. She brought Advantage from her house (she used it on Mickey) and put some on the back of Snow's neck.
Hopefully that would work. Advantage is suppose to kill fleas in 12 hours. I'm not home right now, but when I am, I'm gonna check Snow all over for some fleas.

Thank you everybody for your help!

That's great that Advantage helped Snow. Now, she doesn't have an itchy back anymore. She's probably thanking you & your grandmother right now.

Where can you get Advantage at cause my kitty has some fleas too? Oh dear...

Well, my grandma got Advantage from her vet. If you go to your vet and ask for it, they should give you some. If your looking for a store to buy it, um... I'm not really sure if they sell it at stores.
Advantage cures fleas in 12 hrs. It is only used for cats nine weeks and older. Your cat also has to be nine pounds and lower to use the product. Good luck with your kitty

Yes, it sounds like fleas to me also. Sounds as though she developed a severe case of dermatitis from the fleas. Revolution always worked well for me when I was rescuing ferals but whatever you have at your disposal should be ok. Except for flea collars. It's been my experience that, not only are they not effective, years ago one of my cats lost her fur where the collar had been. Don't use them.

Today I checked Snow head to tail for fleas. I found a couple dead ones, but other then that they totally disapeared! That Advantage stuff really helped. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!

My mom and dad used Frontline on their cats, but the one cat has an allergy to it, and so they switched hers to Revolution. She's been good since. Just so you know that they aren't all alike, and if she gets a reaction from it, there are options.

Be sure you vacuum really really well in your house. If there were fleas, there are eggs. The eggs will hatch, and you'll have more fleas. And even if they don't bite Snow anymore, because of the Advantage (if you KEEP using it), they can still bite you. Advantage, or any other flea medicine, is not once and done. You have to make sure the rest are gone, exterminating if necessary. You don't want to be infested in the house, because that can be really bad!!!
