But with it effecting three cats, all in nearly the same way, I have little doubt that there is something wrong with the medication. Oddly enough, Courage is the largest and oldest of the three, and seems to have had the worst reaction.

According to the FDA, it is important to determine the ingredients used in pet flea medications as these could cause neurological problems. According to the FDA warning, problems usually happen with drugs containing Isoxazoline. The good news is that Capstar for dogs has Nitenpyram as the active ingredient, not Isoxazoline. This was a surprise to me as she stays indoors most of the time. But since I wanted to alleviate her suffering, I started searching for a solution. Unfortunately, I realized that many of the products that are marketed as remedies for fleas such as dog flea collars and shampoos only bark without biting.

For example, if your dog lives in an area with a high flea population or has a history of flea allergies, your veterinarian may recommend administering Capstar more frequently. Additionally, if your dog spends a lot of time outdoors or around other animals, they may be more susceptible to flea infestations and require more frequent doses of Capstar. If you are looking for a flea prevention and control medication that provides long-term protection for your dog, you may want to consider other options such as monthly flea preventatives. These medications are formulated to provide a sustained release of the active ingredients, keeping your dog protected against fleas for an extended period. Cannot be used in cats or dogs less than 4 weeks of age, or less than 2.2 pounds (1 kg) in body weight However, if your dog has already been infested with fleas, a one-time dose may not be enough. In this case, your veterinarian may recommend giving your dog Capstar every two to three days until the infestation has been completely eradicated.

Each pill should be administered every two days until all the fleas are completely gone. A flea has a hatching life cycle of three days and therefore, it is important to continue using the pill until results are seen.

Capstar® Possible Side Effects Advantage 80 Spot On Solution can be used for both the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (as well as biting lice with the exclusion of cats) on cats weighing over 4kg. This Bayer VPS medicine can also be used ... Fleas can be a problem because they reproduce so rapidly. A single female flea may produce up to 2,000 eggs over her lifetime. Eggs hatch and can develop into adults within only three weeks. Adult female fleas feed by ingesting blood from your pet and subsequently lay eggs, which drop off your pet's coat. Within days, larvae hatch from the eggs and live undetected in your pet's surroundings, such as the carpet, bedding and other protected areas. Flea larvae spin a cocoon, and, when appropriately stimulated, a young adult flea emerges and jumps onto your pet to continue the life cycle. When these new fleas are seen on your pet, treat with CAPSTAR Tablets.
