Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 13 lbs
I saw some fleas on my cat, and used a flea collar on her for the past month or two. They didn’t go away, and so I bathed her in a tick shampoo I bought. It said that it was ‘for cats and dogs’, but by the time I smelled the peppermint oil it was already on her. I washed it off as thoroughly as I could and dried her as well as possible to prevent her from trying to lick herself as much. I checked the ingredients, and it absolutely is in there. What should I do?
