Ever since I put a flea collar on my cat he runs around and jumps on things like something is chasing him. I don't know what it is but I was wondering if it could possibly be the collar.

flea collars are BAD! the chemicals in them burn and eat away at your cats neck. they really do not prevent or get rid of fleas. they only stop the fleas from ghetting to your cats head. Take it off right away. check for reddness or dryness. If there is you will have to wait till it goes away before you try other chemical treatments.

It's possible it's the collar. When we took our first cat to get sprayed the vet told us that flea collars only work for like a few months then quit so it's best to not waste your money on them. We haven't used one since. I think it's possible that a flea collar could make a cat go crazy.

I've never heard of it being a problem. Make sure that it is specifically for a cat. The dog flea collars could make him sick as the chemicals on them are different. Just like flea shampoo and dip for cats the chemicals are different because the chemicals in the dog stuff will kill your cat.

It could be. Every single cat I have had has had allergic reactions to flea collars. And some cats won't accept collars of any kind.

Do you have a flea comb? they are decrease priced (you may additionally locate them at Walmart interior the cat furnish aisle). Comb your cat with a flea comb (exceedingly around the top and neck). you may detect a flea or flea airborne dirt and dust (appears like black pepper). deal along with your cat with benefit if the cat has fleas. it is the main secure and maximum useful flea treatment for cats. A vet can sell you a tube. You prepare it to the back of the cat's neck and it works for as much as a month. Fleas would be lifeless interior hours. unfavorable high quality meals can be inflicting the challenge, as different solutions have defined. steer away from meals containing corn. The meals label could checklist meat, mutually with poultry, (no longer meat via-products) via fact the 1st (considerable) element. Cats desires actual meat, no longer grain and fillers. There are additionally different possiblities, so that's ultimate to have your cat examined via a vet. it may be psychological of neurological. sturdy success and please post an replace.

Your cat is reacting to the collar, it is not use to having something around its neck. You could try the frontline drops instead.
