Hello there! It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating flea situation. Don’t worry, many pet owners face this issue, and there are steps you can take to help manage it.
Fleas are resilient pests that can multiply quickly. They not only irritate your cats but can also cause skin reactions and, in some cases, lead to more serious health issues like anemia, especially in kittens or older cats.
First, you'll want to ensure that you’re treating not just the cats, but your entire home environment. Start by vacuuming regularly and washing your cats' bedding in hot water. This will help eliminate adult fleas and their eggs. If your cats are agreeable, grooming them with a flea comb can also be effective in removing fleas and their debris.
For your cats directly, consider using a vet-recommended flea prevention treatment. Ensure you follow the product instructions carefully, considering your cats’ weight and age.
Watch for signs of more serious issues like pale gums (which could suggest anemia), excessive scratching or grooming, and open wounds, which can become infected.
If you’ve tried several solutions and still find flea bumps, it might be helpful to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. A virtual visit will allow us to develop a tailored plan and ensure your cats remain comfortable and healthy. Looking forward to helping your furry friends!

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
