Q & A
- Q. How long do the side effects last? My cat had a dose of the product yesterday and has suffered from hair loss and excessive licking in all areas of his body. The excessive licking continues today (24 hours after dose) - is this normal?
- A.
Hi,
I really wouldn't expect any side effects like that - you really need to contact your vet, because it sounds as if your cat is having a moderately severe reaction to the medication.
In addition, you need to contact whoever you purchased the Frontline from, as they will have to report a Suspected Adverse Effect form to return to the VMD and the manufacturers.

MyVetMeds - Q. how long does it take to kill the active fleas and does it kill the eggs
- A.
Hi Heather,
Frontline Combo kills fleas within 24 hours of application. It also prevents eggs, pupae and larvae from developing - so effectively, yes it does kill them too! The effect lasts for 4 weeks against adults, and 6 weeks against eggs, pupae and larvae.
Hope this helps,
David Harris BVSc MRCVS - Q. Can this product be used on a 4 month old kitten?
- A.
Hi Saadia,
Yes, it should be fine at that age (the youngest safe age is 8 weeks); as long as he/she weighs more than 1kg (about 2 1/4 lb).
Hope that helps,
David Harris BVSc MRCVS
