Prinovox/Advocate not working?!

Can't believe this but both cats have huge fleas despite using prescription spot on treatment. On vet's advice have given treatments with 3 week interval not 4. Most recent one was 3 days ago - still alive and well fleas on cats when I combed them this evening. Have sprayed house with Indorex and washed bedding etc. I know more will hatch for ages but I thought they are supposed to die when they bite the cat.

My vet told me advocate doesn’t work on most fleas now as they are immune to it…we use Bravecto now after a similar situation where they had come despite regular advocate. It’s not cheap but has a longer life once applied.

Try Advantage or Bravecto.
