What flea treatment is safe for my pregnant cat with fleas right now?

To my knowledge, there is only one safe (supposedly) flea / tick treatment for pregnant / lactating cats. That is Frontline. I would still read the label carefully and see if the study they did revealed any weird birth defects in large numbers, but it is definitely supposed to be safe.

The label on Advantage says to consult a veterinarian prior to use in pregnant cats. Typically, this means that insufficient studies have been performed to confirm the safety of this medication in pregnant cats. However, without examining Snot and performing further research, I cannot confirm the safety of this product if she is pregnant. However, Frontline Plus is labeled as being safe for use in pregnant cats. I hope this helps!

Veterinary formula flea and tick shampoo cannot be used on pregnant cats, so do not use it. I would use either Advantage or Revolution, both are safe to use on pregnant cats. The home spray is fine, but do not allow Sophie in the room where you use it until it's completely dry. Have her seen by a vet to diagnose what is causing the debris in her ears, which could be due to yeast, bacteria, or ear mites. I hope this helps!

Yes you can apply Advantage to your pregnant cat. Giving a bath is very stressful and won’t control the fleas as well as Advantage. Please vacuum the house daily and use a flea treatment on all of the other animals in the household otherwise you may still have a flea problem. If the kittens get fleas I would use a flea comb dipped in soapy dishwasher to remove them from the kittens, and kill them in the bowl of soapy water. Hopefully they will all be gone before the kittens are born. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Baby.

No, this is not safe to use on your dog. Revolution is a spot on flea treatment, and it is approved and safe for use in pregnant dogs. You can get this from your vet's office. I'd recommend using Capstar as well. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes and is also safe to give pregnant dogs. Give her the Capstar to kill the fleas, and follow up with the Revolution. You will have to disinfect the environment as well. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Just keep her out of any room where you use Indorex or a flea bomb until the room is completely dried. I hope this helps!

You need to treat the puppy for fleas. You can use certain flea treatments on pregnant cats such as Revolution or Advantage flea treatment. I would use one of those on Snowbell. You will need to disinfect the environment as well to get rid of all the fleas. Make sure the puppy gets his vaccines, and once Snowbell has her kittens and they are weaned, vaccinate her. I hope this helps.

I would not worry about severe reactions as selamectin (Revolution) is an avermectin and can be used after Sentry and Advantage multi without a problem. Avermectins are a different class of acaricide and therefore there will be no overdose when used with the others. Both your kitties should be ok and there should be no adverse reaction re the kittens either.
