never mind
i found the website that has it listed so i will probably end up getting my
parents to take me there this afternoon to get the large size dog since i
can use it on all of my kitties and my 2 doggies and it will last a fair
amount of time so i can continually use it instead of only using it when
they get it.  now when i phoned the lady said nothing about having to be a
client of there's so i hope i don't have to.

Dosage ( minimum) 10 mg/ kg body weight topical solution (0.4 ml of the
10 % solution to cats under 9lbs body weight, 0.8 ml of the 10 %
solution to cats over 9lbs of body weight, 0.4 ml of the 10 % solution
to dogs 10lbs and under, 1,0 ml of the 10 % solution to dogs between 11
- 20lbs of body weight, 2,5ml of the 10 % solution to dogs 21-55lbs of
body weight, 4,0ml of the 10 % solution to dogs over 55lbs of body
weight).

Advantage comes in two sizes for cats
9 lbs or LESS 0.4 CC
10 lbs & Up 0.8 CC
One tube of large dog Advantage contains 4CC.

I think .4cc is too much for a small kitten. I prefer to weigh and use
.05cc/lb. which is slightly more than the minimum dosage. My ten-pound
cats get 1/5 cc.

to 4 weeks wile on the dogs it says it will last at least 4 weeks?  is it
due to grooming or what?

Hi
I have a few more questions on fleas and advantage.

After contacting a local resuce group and asking them if they knew of any
vets that would give advantage booking an appointment they said they didn't
know but they gave me the number of the vet they use.  I called the vet and
they said that they would give me the treatment but wanted me to buy each
different sizes.  I went there yesterday and the vet tech said I had to
bring in the pets and have them weighed and then they would give me the
treatments.  They said they wouldn't recommend me using the dog stuff on the
cats.  Well today I borrowed my grandma's dog to have her weighed since she
weighs the most out of all the dogs and I wanted the larger size of
advantage.

Anyway I treated all of my 4 cats and 2 dogs and I noticed that one of the
cats, the oldest in fact had scabs on her neck i think it was from
scratching and her skin was a little red in spots.  I think it may have been
that the fleas were bugging her or maybe she was allergic to them.

One of the questions I have is how does the advantage protect the full body
of the cat when you only apply it to the head?  Does it work because the
fleas like it near the head and they go there and get the stuff and die?

Another question I have is that in a previous post someone stated that I
should keep the cats away from each other for 2-3 hours so that they don't
groom each other.  Well I did that but I was wondering if I should wait
longer if it's not completely dry because the area where I applied the
advantage is kinda greasy looking like it's still kinda wet but It isn't
really wet.  I only noticed it really on my long hair cat but they short
hair I can't notice it that much.

Also I was wondering If there were any good safe products that you know of
that you can use on the furniture and clothing since The older cat that had
the worst case of fleas compared to all of the cats only stays in the
basement since she loves my brother who is in the basement and hates pretty
much everyone and everything so I think there may be fleas down there in the
furniture and on the cement flooring.  I still don't know where the fleas
came from since how could they get into the basement and not in the main
living area with all the other pets.

thanks
