Thanks, David, for the advice on prednisone for long-term usage in a cat with flea bite dermatitis. That is about what I thought, also. I think it is about time to call FleaBusters again!! They are not too bad now, but in the fall here flea populations can become unbearable. We have a mother cat and three tiny kittens staying with us until they are adoptable--we are foster parenting them. When they came, we gathered a huge bag of eucalyptus leaves from our neighborhood, and spread them all over the floor of my daughter's room, where these cats are staying. Eucalyptus, of course, is the ingredient most often used in herbal flea collars. I am not sure they had much effect on the fleas, because in rooms with hardwood floors there are not many hospitable places for fleas to live, anyway. But my daughter and I just loved to be in there, crunching around on the eucalyptus leaves. It felt sort of like living inside a cough drop. Just breathing was a treat!
