had this problem last year - used stronghold as our dermatolgist recommends this , then locked the cats in their room during the day and sprayed the whole house ( except their room ) with innorex, when they came out that evening sprayed there room and closed it up for an hour ... the important thing is to keep up any treatment on the cats , when they say monthly or 5 weekly it does unfortunately need to be done that often

Is it a problem if I can't get a fine tooth comb near him to brush them out?

If you use something that effectively kills the fleas (so, not Frontline) you won't need to comb them out. They will drop off by themselves.

We had a similar problem with Darcie-lu, but the Frontline was totally useless & she tore out most of her back leg fur. The vet gave us Activyl spot for all cats, & a large can of Indorex spray for the whole house. Worked a treat. Dont know whats going wrong with the Frontline, but I did hear that they had altered the ingredients so that may be the reason.

I used to use Frontline on my dogs then last year one of them had a very nasty reaction to the pipette. I phoned Frontline and explained the reaction and was told it happens quite a lot! I haven't used it since. The breeder of my MC boy also told me not to use frontline because it no longer seems to work. I have used stronghold which is good and have advocate for my kitten, which also kills worms.
