I am afraid, Fenistil will not help. The only thing that will help is to get rid of fleas in your house and make sure your cat does not get bitten any more. Here is how to get rid of fleas once and for all: Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantage M

1. You don't need to do anything about the litter box 2. You can give them a Capstar and then the next day you can apply a topical flea medication like Advantage II. 3. You need to treat all animals in the house with a flea medication 4. You need to treat the house. I recommend Knockout Spray ES (see below) 5. You do not need to bathe the cats. It is actually better if you don't. 6. If you have a yard, I would treat the yard with Advantage Yard Spray (see below) 7. Monitor the cats for tapeworms. Cats get tapeworms by ingesting infected fleas. It may be a few weeks before you see them, if you are going to see them.

I recommend using Frontline or any other product that contains the ingredient FIPRONIL. This kills lice and can be found as an ingredient in Frontline and other flea and tick preventative products. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Neither of those would be very effective against fleas. At a home and garden center you may be able to find sevin dust or granules. It's usually very inexpensive and can be sprinkled in areas that the cats frequent. I would concentrate mainly on areas that are cooler and shaded and less on areas that are in full sunlight most of the day; fleas can't tolerate the higher heat and will be attracted to the cooler areas. Sevin dust is a component in topical flea powders, so being around it would not be harmful to the cats. As alternatives, you could sprinkle borax in the areas or diatomaceous earth to help keep the flea population at bay. Thank you for helping stray kitties!

Oh no, that's terrible! I can give you a flea treatment program for the cats. First, I would give them Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash their bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. You can also give the dogs Capstar to get rid of the fleas they have on them now. I hope this helps!
