MY CAT HAS FLEAS; WHAT TYPE OF NATURAL PRODUCTS CAN I USE TO GET RID OF THE LITTLE BUGGERS?
If the flea infestation has become serious, a bath is in order - using a shampoo that has d-limonene (a citrus extract), pyrethrum or using a good castile soap and just leaving it on the fur for about five minutes. Just for good measure you may want to do a second soaping to rid them completely of any remaining fleas that may have survived. Be sure and put some cotton in their ears and some vaseline or other oil around their eyes to prevent any soap from getting in there to irritate the membranes. The rosemary rinse mentioned above would be good to use at this time also.
The important thing is to remain diligent in combing with a flea comb if possible and vacuuming carpets and surfaces frequently. If you need to use a spray or fogger, again try to find one that contains pyrethrins and possibly some type of growth inhibitor that will prevent further infestation.
Wash your pet’s bedding, and any sleeping areas, frequently. A very low concentration of bleach may be added to the washing machine and rinsed thoroughly.
There are several possibilities for herbal or homeopathic treatment to help your cat rid herself of fleas. These are most effective under the direction of a good holistic veterinarian. Most notably, your cat will likely have irritated skin, which can be soothed with a spray of aloe vera juice or gel (make sure the kind you use is naturally preserved, without sodium benzoate, which is poisonous to cats). If your cat develops worms, treatment is somewhat different. Again, we advise that you contact a holistic vet to help you with your cat care choices.
IF I DO FIND A HEAVY INFESTATION OF FLEAS AND HAVE TO TREAT WITH CHEMICALS, WHAT CAN I GIVE MY CAT TO PROCESS OUT THE RESIDUES?
If you have to use a topical or environmental chemical to treat for fleas, then take extra Vitamin C (250 units twice a day), both the humans and the pets, to help aid the body in processing out the residues.
If preventive measures are taken, hopefully you won't ever have to worry about those pesky fleas on your fur kids!
