Here a Flea, there a Flea!
Dear Brew
My kitty, Missy, has scabs on her face and around her eyes and she is always scratching around that area. Any thoughts on what it could be?
Dear Missy’s owner
We have lot’s of thoughts and some of them are actually usefully! Our thoughts on this problem is that Missy has stick tight flea’s.
These little flea’s love the areas around the eyes and ears, they look like little brown or red seeds and true to there name they stick tight.
The great new for you, is that are very easy to get rid of.
To get rid of stick tight fleas, you will need to pick up Advantage or Front-line and apply the whole dose for her weight/size on the skin between her shoulder blades. This will kill the flea’s and they will fall off and the Front-line or Advantage will also kill and repell fleas and ticks for another 30 days.
We also recommend that you apply Front-Line or Advantage every month to help keep the stick tight flea’s from returning.
Stick tight flea’s can be a big problem if not taken care of, they are like little vampires and can cause death in pets with large flea infestations or if your pet has a compromised immune system.
You can find both Front-line and Advantage at our on-line store A Happy Tail Shop or at your local Vet, Petco, Petsmart..ect, make sure you get one of these products and not the cheaper stuff like Hartz, the cheaper flea products are just not up to job.
Thanks for writing us with your problem and for giving us an new idea for the next vampire book and movie, it will star the a group of very sexy and very hungry stick tight flea’s…. fame and fortune here we come!!
