Well I thought my kitten was biting her fur to groom, but I was inspecting her healing spay incision and what do I see - a flea! I was able to get that one off and kill it. I know by the time you see a flea it's too late. Went to PETsMART and got HARTZ topical solution - suppose to kill the eggs as well as fleas, ticks, mosquitoes...well that was over 48 hours ago, I did see what looked like a dead tick on the bathroom floor, so it's working a little but I did find another flea on her which I wasn't able to get off in time due to her squirming then lost sight of the little bug.
I can't give her a flea bath yet because too soon after being spayed. But I know I need to do whatever it takes ASAP to prevent the **** fleas from laying more eggs.
Worried about the bathroom now too, hope I don't need to flea bomb the place! I will take all towels out and wash, maybe that will take care of em? Nothing else in bathroom now except litterbox, I did have a small scratching post - possible fleas lay eggs in box or on post too?
This HARTZ stuff is going right back to PETsMART - I know you can't get Advantage there because it's prescription, but can via mail order - just don't want to wait. PETsMART has this stuff - http://www.petsmart.com/merchandising/biospot2.shtml - kinda skeptical since it says will provide up to 6 months of flea control.
Maybe I'll just call the vet tomorrow and get Advantage if that's what everyone says is the best - What are you using for flea control?
FRUSTRATED! :evil: poor kitty probably thinks I'm punishing her taking away toys and towel comfort.
