I guess that is the problem - they are survivng the treatment. They are
surviving in droves at my house. I have to flea comb every other day.

I'm not sure that fleas can become immune to meds. The ones who are on the cat
die. The ones who hatch from the floor jump on the cat, die. The ones who lay
eggs are apparently still alive so how can they become immune to a product?
Unless Super Flea survives the treatment and goes on to reproduce. But it's
probably a good idea to switch products any way. Some are good for treating
heavy flea infestations (Frontline Plus) and some have mange, worm prevention
also, Revolution. I have not had good results with Revolution on fleas
although it's great for preventing mange and sometimes reducing infestation of
earmites. I find that Advantage is also good for heavy flea infestation but I
haven't tried it yet. I have Frontline Plus right now and am on my way to
treat the little lions, tigers and panthers.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

Well I Googled before & did again. The only thing I can find is that some cats
are more prone to Moxidectin toxicity, which is why you have to be so careful
about dosages.
The Multi formula has meds for fleas - Imidacloprid &
heartworm larvae - Moxidectin
Either way the dog Multi has bit had much effect on my cats this year. I've
heard some people say you should switch products periodically to keep the fleas
from becoming immune to the
meds.

It's been a while since I read that about the dog Multi, however I doubt
they've changed ingredients. I can't remember what ingredient it is in the dog
multi that's bad for cats. I found the info online though so I know it's out
there. Maybe what I read was wrong though. Find out what ingredient is bad
and ask your vet if he knows the dog multi has that ingredient in there and
tell him someone told you it was bad for cats. I'd go back and look it up if I
had time but I've got to get back to work cause the CPAs will be here Monday to
audit the books for my company.

Also - don't get Advantage Multi for Dogs and break it down for cats. Regular
Advantage for dogs is okay to break down for cats but don't use the "Multi."
Some extra ingredient in there is bad news for cats. Obviously the cat "Multi"
is okay.
