Answer #1

one you see ONE flea there are hundreds in different stages, Use monthly flea and tick treatment on the cat like Frontline. Second when you bombed the house did you move cushions and furnture out of the way, because all that does is GO Up and land Down on all surfaces, so if a couch was not moved then the fleas or larva underneath the couch or under the cushions are still alive. So you need to vaccum all the time and everywhere, GET rid of that vaccum bag. OUTSIDE of the house. wash all the cat’s bedding or anywhere she slept. Good luck and stay on top of it. don’t waste your money on over the counter stuff, it is junk and harmful to the cat

Answer #2

Ok my two cents

I use Frontline Plus. Fleas are bad this year (and last) I treat my dogs and cats the 1st of every month even though the Front line plus is good for up to 3 months for fleas. I noticed that my cat (who has allergies to fleas and breaks out) breaks out about 3 1/2 weeks into the month. I talked to my Vets office and I was told that I could reapply the Frontline at 3 weeks. But no sooner.

We also treat our yard about every couple of months through the warm months. We never see fleas.

Only the Flea Monitor that gets a rash (my cat) than it is time to treat.

Answer #3

You used the drops in 2 weeks?

Was it the once a month drop kind of treatment?

If so, you should have followed directions…it takes a few treatments for the problem to be completely gone, but you have to give the treatment once a month…not once a week.

Answer #4

Maybee take her to the vets and the vets will give her a special bath also your cat probably got fleas from rolling in some sand
