Yes have battled fleas before..always spray the yard too …my husband is on top of keeping the yard flea free and we have no problem with fleas. But it is something you have to stay on top of.

The only reason I can think of the owner taking the cat to the vet for a flea bath is if (and yes Louisiana can be a flea hell-hole too) is the cat was so infested with fleas that before you could even start the Frontline you need to get rid of the massive amount of fleas on the cats body first and then start with the Frontline.

That would be my guess, too.

(Had a friend whose dog actually died because there were so many fleas on it…they had no idea the dog was so infested with fleas since the dog was an outside dog..lesson learned for sure).

@ Moe Katz:
Being in the flea hellhole breeding grounds of the United States, I’m gonna ask a stoopid question, not that it negates the Vet’s negligence.
Why take the cat to the vet for a flea bath/dip good for 1 week when you can administer Frontline at home to the cat and obtain the same results in 12 hours that are effective for 30 days?

Makes sense to me.

Another thing you have to do is to clean up the fleas and flea eggs in your home. Infested pets shed both. If you don’t, the fleas will not only hop back onto your cat or dog, but also bite your feet and ankles. Fleas prefer to bite animals rather than humans, but if you’re walking through their bailiwick, they’ll get you too.

Awful for the owner, one never imagines anything like that happening at the vet’s office….
