Apols to the AIBU police - shamelessly posting here for traffic!
We have a cat who is my baby and the light of my life and she's got fleas.
We did some flea bombs (with her out of the house) and a spot-on treatment (generic from Pets At Home, same sort of stuff as Frontline).
Neither seemed to work.
Thought about doing another spot on treatment (the first one was 3 days ago) and hate flea collars (or any collars on cats) but was reluctant to use the same stuff twice, so have bought some flea spray specifically designed for cats.
You are supposed to comb their fur backwards as it were and spray it on the skin but tbh most landed on the fur as she's a wriggly beggar.
We have also used flea powder today but she was locked out until it was all hoovered/swept up.
I just went out into the garden and she is drooling and licking her lips etc, looking a bit agitated. It's highly unlike her - her chin is covered in dribble. She's alert enough but a bit miffed.
Have I poisoned her ? Surely anything formulated specifically for cats won't be toxic to her?? Is she just grossed out by the taste?
I'm really worried
