Hi, What’s the best OTC treatment for fly bites? And possibly ways to keep them away? Thanks, Jeff
Hello. I usually recommend Farnam's Fly-Off Repellent Ointment for wounds & sores like this. It is over the counter & you should be able to find it at any Petco. Just use it on a regular basis to help heal & protect the ears. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My car accidentally got into a fly strip and his fur is all sticky clumped together, I've tried washing him it wont come out and I'm worried it's poisonous. Will it harm my cat? He keeps licking it also.
I would check the label of the fly strip. Some of them are non-toxic, and if this is one of them, then it will not harm Marlow. The labels should let you know if there are any poisons or vapors in it. Should you not have the label, then I would google the name of fly strip you used to find out the ingredients. Then give a call to the Pet Poison Hotline at (888) 426-4435 (there is a $65 fee) to get more help, or you can post here again with the ingredient information and an expert can better advise you. Even if the strip is non-toxic, it's still not good for Marlow to lick it. I would bath him in Dawn dish soap to get it out of his fur. You can also shave the sticky parts out with clippers, or take him into a groomer to have the sticky fur shaved. To keep him from licking it until you can get him into a groomer, I would put an Ecollar on him.

My cat keeps on having flea's I have used various flea collars etc!
If you are noticing continued problems with fleas despite treatment every month, it's possible the fleas have developed an immunity to the current product. I recommend switching the products. Top products for dogs are oral products such as Simparica and Nexgard. Top products for cats are topicals such as Revolution and Cheristan. There is also an oral product called Comfortis that both dogs and cats can take. You will need to switch all the pets over to a good flea product. Make sure to discuss these products with your veterinarian first. These products are generally safe for all pets but there are some conditions which are contraindicated for the oral products. Cleaning up and treating the house and yard will also help but it will not clear all the fleas. The main control is making sure the pets are on good products. This is what will ultimately stop the infestation. Also remember every female fleas lays about 50 eggs a day and it could take up to 6 months before the eggs hatch. Ther
