Fleas are a nightmare for you and your family, but they can be a nightmare for your cat as well. Not only can they make your feline friend uncomfortable, they may even elicit an allergic reaction.

Cats that have fleas are going to be itchy, but a cat that is allergic to fleas will be even itchier than you would expect. That’s because they’re allergic to the flea’s saliva. You can expect a cat with a flea allergy to not only scratch, but bite and chew as well.

If the flea problem isn’t taken care of quickly, your pet will likely lose his hair. He may even develop scabs and sores where his skin is the most irritated.

The best way to eliminate the allergy is to get rid of the fleas. For help getting rid of every last one, click here, or schedule an appointment with your veterinary clinic Bolingbrook, IL.
