Cat has a bald spot (& possibly fleas)

[Katymac]

He doesn't get fleas much as he is mainly an inside cat (by choice) but he went for a walk and when we de-flea'ed him he still 'chased' the fleas around his back/leg/tail & chewed himself. So we re-de-flea'ed again 2 weeks later with a different potion

But he has developed a bald patch by his ear

So what do I do?

He is still chasing the flea around his back legs/tail

Take him to the vet for a check up and buy the pescription stuff.

[Katymac]

The first lot was the prescription stuff - the new frontline (can't remember what it's called)

[gamerchick]

If he's uncomfortable and getting baldy bits then he really needs a check up just in case he has an allergy and you'll need to treat your house so they'll advise.

Poop!

& I haven't been bitten once - that's a first!! Normally it's me first before the cat!!

[gamerchick]

Well you may not get bitten if the animals available but if they're on the cat then they're laying all over the house. Gives me the horrors thinking about it

[Katymac]

Me too!!

Sounds like he could have a flea allergy. Girl cat has one and its awful for her - you need to treat with a flea medicine that contains fipronil and wash all the bedding/soft furnishings if that's the case.

Unpleasant but treatable with the right care!

The week before Christmas it stopped (I treated with advantage)

No sign of any more at all
