How do I get rid of fleas on my cat and what flea medicine is the best?
Problem With Fleas
My cat has very bad flea allergies and I can’t seem to get rid of the fleas. I use frontline advantage but a week later I will notice more fleas. Advantage didn’t work at all on him. I have used the fogger in the house and that barely worked. Is there a better medicine out there and a better way to get rid of the fleas?

Frontline contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Ticks are generally killed before they bite, decreasing the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
Frontline Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator, which prevents an insect from maturing or reproducing. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
You can use FRONTLINE flea and tick control once a month and it’s completely waterproof. Provide your cat with the best flea and tick protection, right from the start.

All About Treatment For Fleas-
If you tried Frontline and Advantage and still have problems, you should talk to your vet. Those products should work effectively.

I use "Revolution" once monthly on two cats and don’t have fleas at all for the last three years.
I can’t imagine what kind of fleas you have that can survive "frontline advantage" (<—which one did your vet prescribe?) but if they are not killed by that then Revolution may not work either.

your problem is that your carpet is still housing the pesky little buggers. go to petsmart or petco and buy a carpet flea cleaner and follow the directions. Than give your cat a flea bath and than after he/she is dry put on the advantage, if your cat is a big guy than the dosage may not be good enough, if you go into the vet they will say that after nine pounds your cats needs a bigger dose, thats what they told me. So read the back of the package and find out how much of the stuff you would put on a large dog and use that dosage. But make sure you kill the carpet fleas otherwise nothing will work. good luck.

Both of the vets I use for my 5 cats have recently told me that Advantage is safe to use weekly rather than monthly on cats with flea allergies. It is the safest flea treatment for cats on the market. I work for an entomology professor in agricultural research, and we use products containing imidacloprid (active ingredient in Advantage) so I have read the MSDS on it and know that it has an extremely low toxicity in mammals. Ask for your vet’s opinion. Be careful with foggers. They may be toxic to your cat. Again, I suggest discussing this with your vet to find a safe solution. Good luck and please post an update if you find a solution!

We use Revolution. It also doubles as heartworm preventative.

I like Advantage. I put it on my cat and it works. If it is doesn’t on your cat then it is best to go to the vet and tell him/her about your problem.

Hi Devyn,
I pulled this directly from Tums.com:
“TUMS contains calcium carbonate as an active ingredient. Calcium carbonate has the capacity to neutralize stomach acid”…
The issue is not stomach acid that needs to be neutralized, but rather the foods that are being eaten that are causing the gurgling and uncomfortable feeling in the first place.
My Cat’s Got Fleas! How Do I Get rid of them?
I think ordinary business laws already prevent taking advantage of someone who is mentally unsound with their money. Well, I hope they do, anyways. I guess I just assume they do. Confidentiality might be an important one though, since sex work has a stigma that could lead to abuses of it, unlike getting a manicure or other body work businesses.
I keep wavering between wanting no rules whatsoever, and seeing some that might not be so bad. Fickled morning.
Interesting article. Perhaps the discussion can focus on some ideas that are more tangible. I think this is a flood gate for discussions and here are some topics:
1) Memory / Knowledge Transplant. A rich, scientific genius finds a way to “bottle” his memories, knowledge, and experience. The lucky recipient of this acquired brain power will still be his or her original self.
2) Brain Transplant. Not actual surgical replacement of the brain, this process wipes the software (i.e. their identity), from the young host and is reprogrammed with a dying older person's entire identity. Personality – Memories – Experience – Knowledge. Dollhouse
3) Better Medicine. Through a combination of medical advancements, Doctors and Researchers have extended the average life span of an individual to 160 years. They accomplished this by meticulous genetic screening, performance enhancing medications, and bionic implants and replacements.
are they half-pint glasses or does dara have gargantuan hands?? lol
