yes because fleas are parasites, they feed on the blood and can take too much of animals blood, small and young animals are much more at risk and will be affected more quickly than larger animals, in larger animals it may not even be noticeable, but their health is very much at risk and ultimately their life.

take the cat to a vet and or get some flea medication.

Yes, flea and tick medicine can kill a cat. It is extremely important to READ & FOLLOW all dosing directions. If you think your cat is having a allergic reaction, call the number of the company and they will tell you the best treatment. When giving the medicine to your animals it is a good idea to keep an eye on them for a few days to make sure everything went smoothly

Will the fleas go away if you use shampoo?

If you only treat the cat with flea shampoo, it may not completely rid you of the flea infestation. Flea shampoo will most likely kill any adult fleas on the cat, but you have to treat the house, too. Flea eggs and larvae can live for many months in carpet, cracks in the floor and soft fabrics such as bedding and sofas. Vaccuuming regularly (putting a flea collar in the vaccuum cleaner bag, or replacing the bag after each use stops any fleas from hatching), and using special sprays all help in getting rid of fleas.


Can you get in trouble if your animal has a flea infestation and you don't take it to the vet?
