I goofed badly; Bast forgive me!
I am so dense sometimes!
Today it finally dawned on me that there are fleas in the house. I bet Abelard brought them in when I started taking him outside. Poor Baby Eyes has torn out so much of her fur that she looks like an oversized rat. As soon as the realization hit, I went to ebay and got enough FL+ to last six months from a seller whose feedback indicates that they ship super-quickly. But I still feel like a heel and an idiot for not learning the truth sooner. In case anyone else is interested in a good deal on FL+ this seller has plenty left: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260262569628 |

It would be dangerous to use that on a cat. Joy |

It would be dangerous to use that on a cat. She might measure out the right dosage for her cats - that's what I do with Advantage. I buy the biggest size (4.0 ml), which is for the largest dogs. The amount needed for my cats is 0.8 ml each, so I get 5 doses for each single tube*. I have my own syringe that's marked off at the right spot so I just drip it in there and apply it with the syringe. They measure it out in tubes to make it easier to apply it. Also, that way you don't have to get the stuff on your skin. I would get it on my hands while measuring, except I wear latex gloves when doing it. Only problem with that is that Licky knows what latex gloves mean and he's gone! Joyce ^..^ *Theoretically, anyway. I don't usually get 5 doses, because I always lose a bit in the measuring. Still, it's a lot cheaper than buying the 0.8 ml tubes. They cost the same! |

Good heavens, don't beat yourself up over getting fleas. Willow began to
look moth eaten and I took her to the Vet. He and his tech found 3 fleas on her but, she was allergic to them. It took a short time of medication, some stuff for flea and ticks, which I had been doing anyway and spraying the carpets. None of mine go out so we figured they got in on shoes, or other clothing. Not such a big deal if you start working to get rid of them, which you already have done. "Jofirey" wrote in message ... "Pat" wrote in message et... I am so dense sometimes!

In case anyone else is interested in a good deal on FL+ this seller has plenty left: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260262569628 We have the same problem here - very damp spring has led to insect "problems" around here. However, we believe that Annie, the d-thing, brought them in, or us, and Annie is the one with the flea allergy, as she's the one looking moth-eaten. We have FL'd the critters, (with 11 cats and a dog, that's getting expensive), and use a flea comb on the critters that will tolerate it. We are STILL getting fleas off of some of them. We have bug-bombed the entire house - twice. I think FL is not as effective as it has been in the past, so we are trying Advantage next time (Advantix for the d-pet) So, we are in the same ARRRRRRRRRRRRG situation as Pat -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

"Cheryl P." wrote | yes, cat fleas, if you have enough of them, will munch on a human As of this morning, I'm getting munched on. Fortunately, my FL+ is already on the way and could be here as early as day after tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm vacuuming the whole house and freezing the uptake, and will shut all the cats in carpet-less rooms and treat the carpeting and sofa. I won't have fleas in this house!! |
