No More Fleas But Cat Still Scratching

When your pet gets fleas, you take action to get rid of them immediately. You use a flea treatment that kills adult fleas and prevents eggs from hatching. The premise is simple: kill the fleas, save yourself and your pet from uncomfortable skin irritation. But why does my cat still scratching after frontline if the fleas have been killed? It’s frustrating when your cat scratches after flea treatment. It can be tough enough to get through the treatment with your pet, but finding out they are still scratching is another story. I’ll give you some helpful tips and tools that have worked for me in treating my cats effectively.

No More Fleas But Cat Still Scratching

Introduction

If you catch a flea infestation early, you can stop it from getting worse. There are a number of different treatments available, but none of them are completely effective if you’re not consistent with administering them. Even in the most severe cases, though, the problem should be resolved within two weeks of beginning treatment. If your cat is still scratching after that time or if it seems to be getting worse instead of better—even when using medication—you may need to consider other causes for the constant itching and scratching.

Fleas are a nuisance. These tiny annoying pests spread quickly and can cause your cat a lot of discomfort. The flea problem is even worse if you have other pets in the house. Proper treatment is vital if you want to get rid of fleas completely and not just reduce the numbers.

Even when you use an effective flea treatment, it often takes time before you see a difference, but you should notice an improvement within a few days. If you see no change at all in your cat’s behavior or if it is still itching even after several days, there might be another problem.

The first thing to consider is whether your cat’s skin is dry. Some cats are more prone to dry skin than others and need extra attention when treated with chemicals like flea medications that can strip away the natural oils on their skin. You can help keep your cat’s skin moisturized by rubbing some cream into its fur after bathing or using a conditioner such as Mane & Tail Shampoo once every week or two (depending on how fast your cat’s coat grows).

Another possibility is that the fleas have caused an allergic reaction in your pet that makes him itch even though he doesn’t have any visible bites or other symptoms of infestation. This type of reaction may start slowly over several weeks instead of coming on suddenly right away like an insect bite allergy would do; if so then it could take longer than usual for this kind of allergy to go away completely once treatment has started working properly again!

Fleas are annoying but they aren’t the only reason your cat could be scratching. Sometimes, it’s just due to dry skin. You may need to adjust its diet and add more fatty acids to relieve dry skin, or you may need to bathe your cat more often using a shampoo designed for cats with sensitive skin.

While fleas can certainly be a source of stress for cats and their owners, they aren’t the only reason your cat could be scratching. Sometimes, it’s just due to dry skin. You may need to adjust its diet and add more fatty acids to relieve dry skin, or you may need to bathe your cat more often using a shampoo designed for cats with sensitive skin.

Giving your cat an antihistamine may help relieve the itching until its skin recovers from the flea infestation.

Anti-histamines are available over the counter and can be quite effective in treating symptoms of flea allergy. However, they may not be safe for your cat: some cats are sensitive to any anti-histamine (even those that are only sold over the counter), while others develop a resistance or sensitivity to these drugs. Make sure to consult with your veterinarian about whether an anti-histamine is right for your pet, especially if he or she has had past experiences with it. Anti-histamines can also cause side effects which include drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation so it’s important to monitor your cat carefully after giving him one of these medications

If you still find fleas on your cat after using treatment, try using another product. Your vet can provide advice about alternatives that are safe for your cat but will get rid of the fleas completely.

There are many different types of flea treatments available and each has its own pros and cons. Some products are more effective than others and some can be very expensive if they need to be used regularly or if they don’t work well enough in the first place. There are also differences in safety levels: some treatments may have higher toxicity levels than others, which means that they could cause side effects in cats who use them, especially kittens or older felines with health problems like asthma or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Finally, some products are safer than others when it comes down to allergies since this is a common problem among cats; if you suspect your cat may be allergic then talk with your vet before using any kind of treatment so he/she can help give advice based on experience with other patients!

Untreated skin problems can make your pet miserable

If your cat is scratching, it could be a sign of fleas. But if your cat has been treated for fleas and still scratches, there may be another issue at play.

Here are some common reasons that cats might continue to scratch:

  • Dry skin can cause cats to scratch. Cats protect themselves from the elements by producing oil from their skin’s sebaceous glands, which creates a thick barrier between them and their surroundings. If this barrier becomes compromised due to dehydration or lack of fatty acids in the diet, it can leave the cat vulnerable to infections and itchiness. Dryness can also lead to flaking and scaling on the face or body—so if your pet doesn’t have dry patches or dandruff when you check his fur regularly, this could be an indicator that something’s off with his health (and therefore potential cause for scratching).
  • Lack of moisture is another common reason cats claw at themselves in frustration—especially if they’re living indoors during cold months when warm showers are not available! This problem mostly affects cats who have short coats like Persians because long hairs trap moisture instead of letting it escape easily as with short-haired breeds like Egyptian Maus or Japanese Bobtails who don’t get as hot under all those layers anyway

Conclusion

If you have followed the advice in this post and your cat is still scratching, you may need to call the vet for further guidance. It could be a sign of a more serious problem—or it could be a simple skin condition that has gotten out of hand. The important thing is to get an expert opinion before it becomes worse.
