He bought the Hartz brand of shampoo and treatment and we are wondering:
1. How long is supposed to take for the fleas to die?
2. If they are not dying, how soon can we use a different treatment(one that actually works)
3. Which treatments actually work?
Any suggestions? |
Haven't had cats in a few years, but the way that you started out is good. Unfortunately the eggs that haven't already hatched end up hatching a couple of weeks later and you end up having to do it all over again. There may have been eggs that hatched just after you did the first hit.
You just have to be persistent. One problem is that once you get the fleas to leave the cats alone, they'll start jumping on you.
