Q on frontline/flea med
my last cat, Sam even though she was an outdoor cat never had any flea
problems now I have indoor, long hair brothers, Moe & Rudy....17 lbs a piece Rudy was biting away & I check see little brown spots, ask a friend since it had been more than 15 yrs since had a cat w/fleas...find out they're droppings and I see fleas...everywhere same friend had her cat die and she gave me her frontline, I checked the date on it & it's for larger cats and it's not too old I'm reading through hand out, it's says for cats keep them apart for 24 hrs? because of them grooming each other..I live in a very small aprartment, temp. my daughter & 2 yr old granddaughter are here too! I can't do that. 3 Q's Do i need to keep them apart for 24 hrs? or Could treat one cat, wait 3 or 4 days then treat the other? appyling it, they're big guys, cats are very strong my daughter is not helpful or not around they don't like any of that crap How do you keep the cat held down w/one arm and apply with the other? once again I thank you all wish there was some way I could contribute to the grp lynn There's beauty in the silver singing river, There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky, But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty, That I remember in my true love's eyes ~Bob Dylan |

Q on frontline/flea med
It's very easy to apply. I don't think you need two people to do it. Apply
high up on the neck. I don't think it will be a problem not to separate the two. I would do it ASAP.

I would do it ASAP. Agreed. And if they are that close, you might only need to treat one of them and the residual treatment will keep the other one clear. Remember the rule though. Vaccum vaccum vaccum (ok, I know that isn't spelled right). -- Cheryl |

You can get sprays to treat the home as well. Wash all their bedding too. You don't need to split them up for 24hours. |

You can get sprays to treat the home as well. Wash all their bedding too. You don't need to split them up for 24hours. Like everybody is telling you, you don't need to separate them . I put the frontline in my 2 cats and I have never separated them. Open the med before and keep it by you, wrap one cat in a towel so that he can't get away, and place it on his outer part of the neck, upper part and spread it a little with your finger , then do the other one. Like the other posters have said, wash, if you can , where they sleep in hot soapy water. If you want to know if there's fleas in the house, place a white small towel, or sock or whatever white thing you have, for a few minutes, 5-10 minutes. You will see the fleas in the white cloth , if there's some. Then if there are, you probably will have to use flea foggers to treat the areas. Good Luck!! |
