What to do when pets flea medication stops working September 28 2017 Dr Michael Dym VMD veterinarian Ask the Vet Blog by Dr Dym 505 Comments All too often a pet owner will come in and share their experience in which he or she regularly applies topical flea prevention yet is frustrated that after several treatments they are still seeing fleas There are several plausible explanations for persistent flea infestations which may have nothing to do with lack of efficacy of these products Apply flea medication properly for maximum effectiveness First I ensure the pet owner is correctly applying the flea medication to his or her pet It is important to completely part the hair and apply the product directly to the skin so that proper skin and hair follicle distribution can occur This is something that can be somewhat of a challenge for thick haired pets however the pet medication will not work properly if only the hair follicles receive the medication it must be applied to the skin Next its important to properly follow product label directions which may vary depending on the size of your pet For instance for large dogs Advantage II requires the product to be applied on multiple spots down the pets back While it is tempting to try and save money by using only portions of products labeled for larger pets on smaller animals its a process such as this that can lead to product inefficiency Ensure your home and yard are treated Another reason for products not working is by not treating your home and yard where in some cases 80 of the flea life cycle may occur Read how to control fleas indoors and outdoors In cases of heavy flea infestations some home products such as Advantage Carpet and Upholstery Spray kills fleas and ticks quickly and continues to kill fleas for two weeks In spite of recent discussion in the veterinary literature the development of widespread flea resistance is still not believed to be a major factor to clients still finding fleas on their pets Consider switching to oral flea medications The newer oral flea medications are becoming very popular and with good reason theyre even more effective than topical treatments at killing adult fleas and keeping your pet fleafree Plus with an oral flea treatment you eliminate the mess of topical flea treatments and the worry about whether youve applied the product properly Have you been battling a flea infestation in your home What are some of the ways in which you have been trying to get rid of them Have pet health questions For any medical concerns we always recommend you consult your veterinarian However for nonemergency questions you can contact Dr Dym directly using our Ask the Vet form Flea and Tick New Product Dogs Love Kale All Natural Wheat Free Dog Treats How long does opened canned pet food remain safe 505 Comments Carole Motsett June 23 2018 at 337 pm I have a 16 yo indoor female cat who is infested again with fleas Ive been using Bio every month for 3 months washed everything possible flea combed bathed in Dawn almost weekly and treated indoor enviornment plus vacuumed No good results Can not kill cycles or mature fleas My cat is overweight and may be diabetic Im afraid vets meds may be too toxic Beside myselfnot sure what to dothis cat is my life and dont want to lose her Abby Khoriaty June 25 2018 at 138 pm Hi Carole and thank you for your question For any medical concerns we always recommend you consult your veterinarian However for nonemergency questions you can contact Dr Dym directly using our Ask the Vet form We hope your kitty is fleafree soon Abby PetMeds Pro Joy Owens November 30 2018 at 1252 am I have a10 month old Peekapoo puppy I applied Advantix 2 which worked great on my previous dog It worked great this time for about 2 weeks and now she is miserable with fleas What can I do since the Advantix is a monthly treatment I bathed her in Dawn but thats only good for a couple of days and I dont want to dry out her skin by washing too often Please help Abby Khoriaty November 30 2018 at 1055 am Hi Joy Were sorry to hear your pup is troubled by fleas Heres what Bayer has to say about K9 Advantix Although K9 Advantix II kills fleas on your dog there may still be fleas in your dogs environment that have since jumped on after treatment Luckily with K9 Advantix II new fleas are killed within 2 hours with protection against further infestation for at least 4 weeks As fleas die they are no longer able to stay hidden against your dogs skin and therefore you may also be seeing dying fleas coming to the surface of your dogs fur coat We recommend treating the environment with a room spray or fogger In the meantime ask your vet about using an oral product such as Capstar which will immediately kill any remaining adult fleas although the effect will only last for 24 hours Abby PetMeds Pro Christi December 5 2018 at 949 pm I have a nearly seven year old cat named Genevieve We got her from the shelter over 8 months ago and when we took her in for her first check up she had some hot spots on her skin Vet didnt see it as much of a problem but we got recommended that we keep her on flea treatment in case it was a flea allergy and to change her food to grain free in case it was a food allergy She is indoor only For the past two months we have found fleas on her and have tried changing her flea meds she was on Petarmor then switched to Frontline now switched to Advantage 2 Each time the fleas disappear for a while i strip the covers off our couches as well as bed spray advantage indoor home spray on nearly every surface and yet still the fleas come back 56 days later We have been careful to wait the full 730 days as the instructions on the box specify Advantage says for infestations a flea treatment every 7 days can be helpful while This case of fleas has aggravated her skin so much that she has many hot spots she itches herself until she bleeds we have since put a cone on her to prevent such damaging scratching and biting and she has been losing fur We took her to the vet before she started losing fur and the vet recommended the advantage spray for the home and advantage 2 flea treatment for cats over 9 lbs Is there anything else further that I could be doing Not sure how my apartment complex would respond to us flea bombing the place but if need be I could do so Sign
