Treating fleas on cats in Nairobi involves a combination of measures to eliminate both adult fleas and their various life stages.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on treating fleas on cats:

1. Consult with Your Veterinarian:
   • Before starting any treatment, consult Ducknet Veterinary Clinic. They can recommend suitable products based on your cat’s health, age, and weight.
2. Use Veterinary-Approved Flea Control Products:
   • Choose flea control products that are specifically designed for cats. Options include topical spot-on treatments, oral medications, and flea collars.
3. Bathe Your Cat:
   • Consider bathing your cat using a cat-friendly flea shampoo. Make sure the shampoo is safe for your cat’s age and health condition. Bathing alone may not be sufficient for complete flea control, but it can help reduce the number of adult fleas on your cat.
4. Use Flea Combs:
   • Regularly comb your cat with a fine-toothed flea comb. This can help remove adult fleas and their eggs. Dip the comb in soapy water to drown and dispose of the captured fleas.
5. Environmental Control:
   • Address the flea infestation in your home by vacuuming carpets, upholstery, and any areas where your cat frequents. Dispose of the vacuum bag or clean the vacuum canister to prevent fleas from returning. Wash your cat’s bedding and any other fabric items your cat frequently uses.
6. Foggers and Sprays:
   • Use flea control products specifically designed for your home, such as flea foggers or sprays. Follow the instructions carefully, and make sure to treat all areas where your cat spends time.
7. Treat Other Pets:
   • If you have multiple pets, treat all of them for fleas, even if only one is showing signs of infestation. Fleas can easily move from one pet to another.
8. Prevent Reinfestation:
   • Continue using preventive flea control measures even after you have treated the infestation. Consistent use of flea preventatives is essential to avoid future problems.
9. Monitor for Secondary Infections:
   • Keep an eye on your cat for signs of secondary skin infections caused by excessive scratching and biting. If you notice any redness, swelling, or discharge, consult your veterinarian.
10. Follow-up Veterinary Care:

• Schedule follow-up appointments with your veterinarian to monitor the effectiveness of the flea control measures and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.

Remember that consistency is key when it comes to flea control. It may take several weeks to eliminate the infestation, and regular preventive measures are essential to avoid future problems. Always follow the advice of your veterinarian and read and follow product instructions carefully. If you have any concerns or if your cat’s condition worsens, seek veterinary advice promptly.
