Best cat flea combs according to redditors

Well I would take her to the vet to be honest... it could be fleas or another parasite. The treatment you need is by prescription only. Note that hone remedies like beating will not work - don't bathe the bunny.

​

You will need an exotic pets vet ASAP for proper treatment.. please don't waste your money on a regular vet. For fleas alone it won't be expensive.

A lot of fleas are very uncomfortable for a bunny so you have to address it ASAP

​

For fleas you need a prescription for Revolution that is bunny safe (note that it's for small kittens and this is what is safe for bunnies ). Just be aware that Frontline given to cats and dogs is TOXIC to bunnies - we just a had a person here who lost their little boy to that. :( So be careful.

​

Most importantly you need to sterilize her environment at least once or better twice a day if you do fine any fleas - once his environment is rid of fleas, they will not reappear! This is the key. Get a handheld steamer from amazon and steam the entirety of bun's space (not the bun though) every day - just aim the steam on the hottest setting close to the litter, the hay the blankets etc etc. Same with all the dog spaces. I also suggest that you rent a carpet steamer and steam any carpet you have too. Really hot steam kills anything.

You must also treat the cat! Basically the idea is that you have to remove fleas from the environment - eggs too, from all sources.

​

Lastly be sure to brush you bun - get a good brush - you can try a flea comb and the haribuster. Of course once done take all the loose fur outside and wash everything well.

I bathe my two cats regularly. Neither of my cats have died, exploded, murdered me, melted, or otherwise been harmed by bathing, so I see no problem with bathing a cat as long as it's carried out properly. I bathe them with a cat shampoo (never human shampoo or soap) and make sure I rinse thoroughly. I also have one of those pet hose attachment things for my shower - https://www.amazon.com/Rinse-Ace-Sprayer-Showerhead-Attachment/dp/B000633XBE - this has made bathing so, SO much easier and faster.


I bathe my 18-year-old every two weeks as she is an outdoors cat; the 9-month-old only gets a bath every month as she is full-indoors. My 18-year-old used to have problems with hairballs and I kept having to dose her with chemical hairball gels.... but once I started on the regular bathing, she's had maybe literally three hairball-horks in the last 6+ years.


My 18-year-old is a shorthair, but has extremely thick, soft fur, and as she gets older, she can't groom herself as well, so she's developed mats before. Regular baths helps this, as does regular brushing. I use several combs/brushes on my two, but the ones I have found to be the best are these:


https://www.amazon.com/KONG-ZoomGroom-Cat-Grooming-Brush/dp/B0002AR18M - the Kong Zoom Groom is god.

https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Republique-Dog-Flea-Comb/dp/B01MF7SBG2/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1493098979&sr=1-4&keywords=cat+flea+comb - not for finding fleas, but EXCELLENT for brushing out loose hair.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUK6GW6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - even if your kitties don't have mats, a de-matter comb really helps pull out dead/loose/shedding fur.


You can also use a Furminator, but BE CAREFUL, they are POWERFUL. I have combed a bald spot on my old girl before. No more than a few strokes of the Furminator in any one spot on the cat - you can't always see immediately how much fur it's actually removing. Take it slow and literally do a visual check as you go along to make sure you aren't brushing them bald >_< The Furminator will remove normal, "non-shedding" fur as well as fur that's dead/about to be shed.


But yes, you can totally bathe a cat, it's perfectly safe and legit. You can also shave cats and they'll be perfectly fine, but I usually only see this done on longhairs such as Persians and Maine Coons who have a tendency to mat up badly. And of course, I'd never shave a cat of any fur length unless it was a full indoors kitty!

I flea brush my cats every day. Use a bowl of water with a few drops of blue dawn dish soap in it. focus under the neck and the top of their butt at the base of the tail. My cats are down to 2-3 fleas per day with this method and it only takes 5 minutes.

Get 2 of brushes so when one gets a bunch of fleas in it you can toss it in the water and use the other brush. Rotate back and forth between the 2 brushes and you will pull off a ton of fleas. After the first 2 days you will have hardly any! The best part is it doesn't harm the cats at all!

I use one of each of these brushes and they are awesome:
