Has anybody used stronghold spot on before?

Put it on Kiwi bout a week and a half ago and it rapidly killed off
the few fleas he had picked up out, but now already he seems to be
crawling in them, like i have not ever treated him and they don't look
at all like they are dying. Up to now I had been using frontline spray
on him but now he is almost full grown it had become a terrible battle
to get it on him and thought that this would be just as good(was a
sample from the vets)as the frontline lasts at least a month without
seeing a flea.

Will get down the vets as soon as i can and try the frontline spot on
but cant get there at the mo as have killed the car! Or is the frontline
version just as useless?

Yes I use it regularly for my Missy, indeed we also use it for all the
cats at the rescue shelter where I voulnteer. I have found it excellent.

This is interesting, Stronghold has always worked perfectly for me and the
shelter.

I've never used Frontline but several people here say it's good. I really
am surprised at your experience with Stronghold though, where are you
located..? Maybe the formulation is different in different countries. I'm
in the UK.

Maybe It doesn't work on white cats then!!! ;-)

Maybe I didnt do it right then! I was really impressed at first as it
seemed just as good as the spray.

I'm in Gloucestershire so it should be the same! Off to look at another
car in a min so will hopefully be able to pop to the vets tomorrow or
otherwise may just give them a ring. I am really quite puzzled as your
not the first to say its good.

Thanks for the reply.

Hey there!
I've never had any problems with Frontline, but then we've never really
used anything else. :O)

We're all doing great thanks! Well, saying that, Macavity isn't going
to be too pleased with us, as we're taking him for his weigh-in at the
vets. We're hoping they'll let us away with putting him on a maintenance
diet now, as we're forever having to find new and devious ways of
preventing him from stealing the kitten food!

Ella and Lou are due their 9 month check-up soon. They're doing really
well, although Ella has a bit of eye-snot going on at the moment, but
she won't let me near it to get rid of it for her. I think we're going
to have to do it four-handed. :o)

How's Kiwi doing?

Aww, poor Ella has just been to the Vet, and she's got conjunctivitis.
We've got some eyedrops for her that should hopefully do the trick.
Thankfully her temperature is normal, and the vet doesn't think it's cat
flu, so we're hoping it'll clear up in a couple of days.

Poor baby Ella is feeling rather sorry for herself though. Wish I could
make her feel better. :o(

Glad yours are all ok, did you ever work out where Macavity had got to
when he went walk abouts?

Kiwi is fine, mind you he spends most of his time as a black and white
cat as he keeps going under my old car! I can hear him growling at
another cat in the neighbours garden right now-little sod!

So is Macavity back to his "ideal" weight now?
