When Inds was in the comfy collar it was because of a reaction to 'something'- still unknown- in her food, when I switched foods it finally cleared up. We had been using Royal Canin Exegient, and we switched to James Wellbeloved on the advice of a fellow breeder. Some months later she developed some lumps on her head in a different place/way which turned out to be a flea bite allergy and nothing to do with the earlier issue. Indigo just likes to be complicated! I have never ever seen a flea on Indigo, but when I see the lumps they all get treated, it's actually a great early warning sign! This year was apparently awful for fleas, EVERYONE has had them, even indoor cats who have never had them before, according to my vet, so don't feel bad. We had them, They come in on Theo, who goes outside, or possibly on my clothes from the allotment... I don't rate flea collars, and I have heard bad things about Bob Martins, so never use that. I use Frontline or Advantage which are both good brands. Never use anything containing permethrin on cats as this is highly toxic- some brands marketed for dogs contain this, although I wouldn't use it on dogs either! I would be looking at food intolerances though, I was at my wits end with Inds, it went on for months and changing her food was the only thing that cleared it up.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892914003630993197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274678439101944494.post-8119088189051293092014-08-19T00:30:19.930+01:002014-08-19T00:30:19.930+01:00Hello!

Last month I noticed my cat had scratched the side of her face so I kept her in a cone until it healed. Once I took the cone off however, she scratched her head open again(now, sadly she's back in the cone). I was on the Internet trying to find out what it might be and stumbled across your similar experience with Indigo and fleas. I haven't treated my cats for fleas because they're indoor and I've never had problems with fleas and my cats in the past. Also, I've heard horror stories about cats having terrible reactions to flea medications; long lasting side effects and sometimes...death. I was just wondering how you finally discovered she had fleas and what product you used to treat her with? If you could reply to this comment I would be very thankful! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
