cats/fleas?
31 Answers
I have 2 cats. Sons ankles were covered in bites, which looked to me like flea bites. So as one of cats likes his bedroom to sleep in(a box not son's bed!) I hoovered all his room, sprayed flea spray everywhere, and did both cats with Frontline. Also sprayed rest of house with flea spray. Son didnt get any bites for a coupld of days but is now covered all over lower legs, and 2 on torso. They are driving him totally mad. It has to be fleas, cant see what else it could be. ( have thoroughly checked for bed bugs and mattress is clean).
So can I try the cats with Frontline again even though I only did them 2 weeks ago?
Any other suggestions much appreciated!! Poor sons legs look awful.

So far I've front lined them, but unfortunately allowed them back in the house straight away so I assume most of the fleas jumped off to join the other fleas hatching in the carpets. Last weekend I spent a bomb on flea powders for the house, and I've been hoovering hoovering hoovering ever since. Still got fleas. Now I've read the answers in this thread I'm not getting frontline again but will go for the other thing, and also I've got some killer flea spray on order from my vets coming on Saturday. I'll keep you posted!
