Rinny and the Fleas ...

(Yesterday - Wednesday...)
Rinpoche chews his fur and has a serious skin problem, so... We went to the "Doctor Place" a half hour early. Nervous about it. She came in and checked him, turned him over and found a flea! I have checked him several times and didn't even see specks! Then she carefully examined him, belly, innards, butt, etc. and said he also had an allergy or something in addition. She gave Rinny three needle shots - DEOPO MEDROL INJ, COVENIA and CERENIA (10mg) and I asked for a tube of Advantage Large Cat Multi which I gave him on the nape when we got home. Then I immediately got on Amazon and ordered enough Advantage to treat all my indoor cats plus the outdoor guy, Toughy, who has fleas. I probably introduced the fleas from him. I am to give him daily CatLax and continue the Coconut Oil. I am severely allergic to flea bites but have not had any! I could be wrong but...

Jon, when I had a flea problem, I cut up a flea collar in strips and
put them in the vacumn cleaner bags. It was very effective.

Bless his heart.

I bet Rinny is a much happier cat now that the fleas are gone.

They are not gone yet. It will take a while, but the three shots he got have made him tired and listless. The Advantage Multi works fast, about 24-36 hours and he is flea-free. But the others... ugh, and the floors. I have already vacuumed and dumped two bags from the machine in the outside bin. That can take much longer. But we will get it done.
