Thanks for your question! I understand you're worried about your kitten's flea treatment and quarantine. Both Capstar and Revolution are effective flea control products. Capstar starts killing fleas quickly, within 30 minutes, and works for about 24 hours. Revolution works more slowly but provides long-term protection against fleas, usually covering one month per dose.
You don't really need to "quarantine" your kitten in the traditional sense. It's more about ensuring that any areas where your kitten spends time get properly cleaned since fleas can hide in bedding, carpets, and furniture.
Here are some at-home care tips:
1. Vacuum regularly to remove any flea eggs or larvae around your home. Be sure to empty the vacuum outside immediately.
2. Wash any of the kitten’s bedding in hot water.
3. Limit your kitten's access to untreated outdoor areas during this time to prevent new fleas from hitching a ride inside.
It's smart to keep an eye on your kitten for signs of distress, like excessive scratching, bald patches, or lethargy. If you see any of these, or if your kitten seems unwell in any way, it might be best to consult with a vet directly.
If you have more questions or if anything seems off, I recommend booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet. They'll be able to assess your kitten's situation more closely.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
