Flea on cat after given Revolution?

Question

My cat had fleas so i gave him a flea bath, put revolution on him and bombed the house etc. got rid of the fleas in the house, but i still see him scratching and i actually found one on him the other day. WHY is it on him when i gave him revolution?

Answer 1

With Revolution the fleas die after they bite him, but it takes a little while for them to die.  You will still see an occasional flea, but that flea will die.

Please keep an eye on your kitty.  That's a lot of chemicals for him to be exposed to.  Just the Revolution would probably have handled it, it's always been enough for mine.  

Sometimes he just has normal itches that have nothing to do with fleas, so don't worry if he keeps scratching a little sometimes and he'll probably still itch from the fleas for a bit after they're all gone.

Answer 2

You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus at drsfostersmith.com . The Capstar will kill all the fleas on your cat almost instantly and the frontline will prevent re-infestation. Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. It is imperative that you do not skip this. *******Frontline (or advantage, revolution, promeris, etc.) is only effective if the flea bites the cat. *******Fleas have a 3 week lifespan and only feed for a few days of those three weeks, so you must use Capstar to kill all live fleas on your cat. After you Capstar add on the Frontline Plus and it will keep fleas off your cat for 30 days. Any eggs that hatch will be killed when they feed by the Frontline. Refrontline every 30 days.
