Could cat flea actually kill my cat? - Pets - Others

I suggest calling a veterinarian about flea control for the baby kittens and the bald spot on the cat.

For starter, cut up a flea collar and put the pieces inside your vacuum cleaner. Vacuum thoroughly, including spaces between and under couch cushions, under furniture, and in closets. Seal the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and get rid of it promptly. To deal the deathblow to larvae in carpets, use a special flea powder. Keep your cat out of the room and vacuum the carpet the next day. Throw bedding, seat covers and any other washables your pet touches into the washer at least once a week. Wash with the hottest water possible and some flea shampoo that works against both adult fleas and eggs.

Fleas prefer the rump and the head areas which you cat cannot reach to remove them. Fleas will also invade your cat's belly area. In rare cases you'll find fleas all along your cat's spine between the shoulder blades.

There are some cases that one cat flea product wouldn't work properly against cat flea. If this is your scenario, you should rotate to different types of cat flea product each week this way you'll reduce the cat flea resistance significantly.

Cat fleas may be responsible for disease transmission through humans, and have been suspected as transmission agents of plague. Furthermore, Small animals such as cats with large infestations can lose enough bodily fluid to fleas and may result with dehydration.

Humans can certainly be bitten by fleas but generally cat flea cannot be sustained and infest humans. However, if the female flea is allowed to feed for twelve consecutive hours on a human, it can lay viable eggs.

To cure your cat from fleas and stop them re -infestingyou should ensure that you firstly thoroughly clean your house, wash anythingthat the cat may have been in contact with, vacuum your carpets and dispose ofthe bag.Next you must treat your cat, I use Petcor asit is one of those products on the market and it contains natural pyrethrins toimmediately kill adult fleas and ticks, plus it kills flea eggs for 63 daysafter application.
