Hi! I've had my kitten for about 8 weeks now. When I got him the lady said he had been treated for fleas, but I noticed him itching so after about 2 weeks I bought a Bob Martin flea and tick treatment and applied it (I've read really crappy things about Bob Martin treatments now so regret it). Anyway, I have noticed him kicking and scratching a lot so I checked today and found fleas on him (he's an indoor kitty so he must've had them since I brought him home).
I went to the local pet shop to get him another treatment but they wouldn't let me as they said I could overdose him if I give him the treatments too close together. The thing is, I can't remember how long ago I gave him it, or how long the treatment said it lasts for... I'm guessing he had the treatment about 4 weeks ago.
Is there anything I can do? I feel sorry for him having them, and I also don't like the thought that it's gonna be another couple of weeks until I can give him another treatment... I also don't like the thought of then living in my carpets/bedding etc. My mum suggested using a nit-comb and combing them out but I wasn't sure if that would work?
