Title: Flea Drops
Post by: Shiroi-Neko on April 04, 2011, 13:51:40 PM

I have just put some Flea drop on Ai Chan, but its a tad to low on her back of her neck :doh:. she is now trying to lick the area that it was applied.
Now a bit worried that she has consumed some  :-[

What is flea drop, is that a make or are you referring to spot on Frontline or other vet spot on.

If its a named spot on , I believe it will make them salviate a lot and obviously wont work very well if its all licked off. I am sure there will be instructions on the packet about it being licked and if you are worried give your vet a ring.

If its an over the counter, not Frontline, then I would be slightly more concerned as these dont work and arte more dangerous and would ring your vet.

She isn't trying to lick it now, I will monitor her.

I wouldnt use that again cos it is not very good but you can buy Frontline spot on from chemists and pet shops or cheaper online.

Yes I would just monitor her now  ;D

one of mine always tries to lick off her frontline and seems to be able to turn her head 360 degrees to do it she foams up a bit at the mouth but it doesn't last long - bob martin stuff is a bit ineffective usually although I know your cat is an indoor cat so not as much of an issue

She is OK, no ill effects. i think she made it look like she had a lick of it.
I usually use Front line, my friend had some left from when her cat passed away.

Thanks for your messages  :Luv:

Glad to hear Ai Chan is fine now.  I wouldn't use Bob Martins products - never heard good things about them.

We always use Frontline on our two girls, but we always make sure it is last thing at night and dont let them out until morning, and leave lots of water around for them to drink. My idea is if it is raining it may wash it off? daft I know
