Flea Infestation in Cats

Fleas, just like ticks, are nasty parasites that commonly beleaguer our beloved cats. Many cats will not show any adverse reaction to flea bites or flea infestations. But there are some cats that are hypersensitive to flea bites, and they could manifest this through heavy itching episodes. Small crusty sores will eventually show up after continuous scratching is done by the affected cat. Aside from small crusty sores, you may also notice hair loss in certain areas of the cat’s body if there is a severe flea infestation.

Are you aware that fleas are nasty bloodsuckers? If there is a severe flea infestation in a cat’s body, a significant amount of blood of the cat can be lost in a short period of time. If this happens, the afflicted cat would eventually develop anemia if a prompt intervention will not happen. Anemia is a serious matter especially for young cats and this can lead to death. Ask your vet London, ON about a flea product that is safe and effective for your cat.
