Health & WellbeingSee now I'm confused ok if I give my cats a capstar pill to kill adult fleas and I use Adams flea shampoo that's says it's suppose to kill flea eggs and flea larva them two products alone will not get rid of the fleas?
Hello! Yes, using those products will kill the adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larva. However, in order to prevent Oatmeal from getting fleas on her again, I would use a monthly flea preventative Rx by your veterinarian. If she is an outdoor cat then she can easily acquire fleas if she is not on a preventative, monthly. Even if she is indoors, fleas can come inside your home and hide in cracks and crevices. The pupal stage of the flea can actually live dormant for months and be a source of potential re-infestation for Oatmeal if she is not on any monthly preventative. Lastly, please be sure the products you are using are safe for cats. Products with Pyrethrins in them are potentially toxic to cats and should be avoided.
