That is fine that your comment doe...Dear Anonymous,<br />That is fine that your comment doesn't have to do with Thanksgiving! Any comments are welcome.<br />I am trying to answer your question and I did find out a few things but one thing I need to know is how old is your cat? You said "very old" but did not mention an age.<br />In order to give you the proper answer about treatment I would also need to know if your cat has any health issues.<br />Also, is your cat an indoor cat or an indoor/outdoor cat? Do you have any other pets in the home who may have caused the cat to have fleas?<br />Are you sure the cat has fleas?<br />I did find out to NOT bathe the cat in any type of dishwashing liquid at all, it is too harsh for the cat's skin.<br />Also is your cat declawed? Have you ever bathed your cat before?<br />If it were me bathing my cat is something I would not want to undertake at all since most cats would hate it and it could be very traumatic for an older cat.<br />Did you call the vet? Do you take the cat to the vet regularly? <br />How long has the cat had fleas?<br />To be honest if your cat is infested with fleas that is probably the first thing I would do!<br />I know many vets have a groomer onsite for both cats and dogs and if I were you I would contact them first. Not sure if they would want you to bring the cat in with fleas though.<br />If you can answer these questions I will do my best to get you a better answer, I can also call my vet tomorrow and ask him if you would like.<br />I look forward to hearing from you!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-14358744906055216902009-11-25T09:27:04.263-05:002009-11-25T09:27:04.263-05:00Hi, sorry, this has nothing to do with Thanksgivin...Hi, sorry, this has nothing to do with Thanksgiving but I'm very worried about my cat. He is very old and has fleas!! He's never had fleas before. I'm using Advantage Top Spot, and a flea comb and have even bombed my house. Still he has fleas. Someone told me I could bathe him in water with Dawn Dishwashing soap. I don't want to hurt him but I can't put the flea drops on again for another 3 weeks. Please advise.
