Advantage stopped working!
We have been using Advantage on our cats for years. The cats vary in
age from 7 yrs down to 1 yr. All of a sudden this year, the fleas were back on the cats after only 2 weeks. Can fleas get immunity to Advantage? If so, is there a different one that works as well? (Frontline?) redpenner |

I found Revolution works better than Advantage ever did for my cats. I
think it kills more parasites, too. On Sun, 23 May 2004 19:53:53 -0500, "redpenner" wrote: We have been using Advantage on our cats for years. The cats vary in age from 7 yrs down to 1 yr.

I've never heard of that, but Advantage has been on the market for a while. Bring this up to your vet, just for their heads-up. There may be confirming literature out there, or you may be among the first to realize a problem. Another good product is Front Line, especially for indoor-outdoor pets. Program is pretty worthless except for indoor-only pets who are not allergic to flea bites. Capstar is excellent for the quick-kill but only lasts a few days. It is more practical for rescue work.

Are you being careful to get the product on the skin, not the fur? I
have heard that it usually is good for six to eight weeks. -MIKE |
