Have just treated cat for fleas. Worked but there are loads of dead ones on her skin. tried combing.any ideas?

Answer 1

you will need to bathe her...just put about an inch of water into the tub and scrub her gently until you see them all gone, whatever you do dont use any flea soap since you have already treated her for fleas you would be overdoing it if you used anything but a mild soap...i found out the hard way that you can only do one treatment my cat went into seizures after treating for fleas with a collar and then using drops

Answer 2

first pick off the ones that you can by hand.
Try getting a fine comb to brush her with; use short strokes. It helps move the fleas out of the fur.
You can try the bath method, but most of us groomer's don't prefer that (only when cats have to desperatly get a flea bath...)
since most cats hate water.

Answer 3

use a fine tooth comb specifically made for combing out fleas. You can pick one up from pet shop.

Answer 4

Get a comb with very fine teeth and just keep combing them out. If she was really infested this could take while. Just comb as she will tolerate it. If she gets tired of you combing her ,wait a while and then comb her again later.

Answer 5

You need to use a comb that has very fine teeth in order to get them out fully. Try a lice comb or just a regular black, small comb.

Answer 6

Yes, use the very small comb...I bathed mine and ruffled the fur under the water. That works well!

Answer 7

i combed my cat with a bug comb that you use for lice treatment they work very good try it because the spokey thingys are closer together good luck

Answer 8

A short bath should get rid of flees.(dead or alive)

Answer 9

take a soft brush and brush backwards in short strokes

Answer 10

KEEP COMBING-USING A FLEA COMB?
