Elanco Animal Health Cheristin for Cats Topical Flea Treatment – Effective Through 6 Weeks

We tried flea treatment after flea treatment for my cats and nothing worked until we found Cheristin! This stuff is the best and actually works. We did 3 consecutive months and I vacuumed everyday and they were as good as gone!

I have tried so many oils, collars..pills..which the Capstar works great but only for 24 hours. This continues to work...I find dead fleas all over my room. I know they only kill adult fleas but when the eggs hatch..they bite my baby..and die! Hoping to break this cycle! She is an indoor cat..never leaves my room actually..it's a big room..wing of the house. Planning on giving her another cycle after four weeks. Gotta get this under control! These were all dead or dying fleas...I just wanted to see how many she had after a week and a half Update : It's been a few weeks now and I very rarely find any fleas, dead or otherwise. I will definitely be giving her another dose in a few more weeks because this truly has been the only thing that has actually worked.

I put two tubes of this on my cat within 2 days, because I spilled the first tube onto her fur, on the back of her neck, and the first tube had no effect on stopping her scratching and red sores on her forehead. I assumed that a 2nd tube would work better, since I didn't get much of the first tube onto her skin. Big mistake! I should not have applied the 2nd tube. So applying the 2 tubes has put my cat into an altered state, where she has lost her mind temporarily. As I'm typing this my cat is running behind the computer into the cords and hiding and she has NEVER went back there before, and she won't stop crying, even though she is not vomiting and she did eat her food. She seems to be in mental shock, or in a state of trauma, and she can't stop licking herself and also whining super loud. The two tubes made her skin way more red and inflamed, although she isn't scratching herself. I think she isn't scratching because she forgot how to scratch herself, she is in a really bad confused mental shock. Physically, she seems fine, she ate her food. And has been eating, but she has been crying constantly and going into the OPPOSITE places that a cat should go. Like she climbed onto a sub-woofer and then jumped underneath my computer monitor that is sitting on my desk. Okay so what I've noticed is that cats cannot have chemicals on their skin. Anything you put on their skin can make them violently sick. I knew this from putting the brown Sulfur bath solution on her previously, which made her throw up, and was not effective. I should have known better than put 2 tubes of this product on. Please only use 1 tube, and wait 30 days (according to the instructions) before applying more. If you're having hot spots, try Chlorahexadine solution which always worked and didn't make my cat sick, but my cat HATES the smell of it and fights to get away from it. And you can also try Hypochloric Acid (Hot Spot Spray) which was effective too for small hot spots. My cat has been licking constantly and having red rashes, but I haven't been able to figure it out. My cat has red rashes above each eyebrow. My outdoor cat that interacts her has never had a single problem, and no sign of any skin issues. But my indoor/outdoor cat has a severe rash on the top of her head. The Flea medicine worked for 2 weeks, when I tried this product over 30 days ago. But it wore off quickly, within about 10 days, and then she started scratching and licking. I would avoid this product if your cat has a small hot spots. Try to confirm that your cat has fleas before using this product, because it is very potent.

Great product for what it's supposed to do. I think it did make my cat sick after awhile, but she got free of fleas totally. Very easy to use. She even stopped itching. It does have a bad smell so my cat didn't smell very good.

My favorite flee treatment for my cats. It was recommended to me by the veterinarian and was effective at eliminating flees after I rescued her. Other flee medicines didn’t cut it for the flees she had at the time of rescue.
