Re: fleas/ferals - Capstar

[Nina]

Thanks for pointing out Capstar, I did a bit of research on it and it does seem like at least a good temporary relief for fleas for my feral colony.  The problem is that it needs to be prescribed by a vet, (can't figure out why this should be given the safety indicated in studies).  Has anyone found an online source where it can be ordered w/o a prescription??? I find this so terribly annoying.  Nina Kat wrote: Hi Lohna, I also have a few house ferals - can't touch them with a comb, can't even put the Frontline drops on them - so my vet gave me tablets called "CapStar". For non-ferals, you can just pop one tab down their throats - for the ferals, I have to crush the tab and hide it in really smelly/great tasting kitty food. CapStar works within 30 minutes to one hour to kill all the fleas on the cat, and it gets processed out of the cat's system within 48 hours. So at my house, I use the Frontline on all of my healthy non-ferals, and for the ferals I use the CapStar. Good Luck with Kittypoo.

I imagine it's important how you get rid of fleas on a kitty with feline leukemia, also a feral. This is kittypoo. She is indoors. Any advice? Lohna
