I was wondering if anyone has heard of using vaseline on a cat for a bad infestation of fleas and eggs or nest? My cat lives in my basement and he comes upstairs at night, he was outside for 1 day and got a bad case of fleas, which I just found. His poor genitals and head and ears had hard crusty eggs, I guess is what they are. He had even a sore on his tail where he had scratched and bit the hair off. I rubbed him down with vaseline to soften the places and worked my hands through for a long time to loosen up the eggs and worked them out. I hope this won't do any harm, I know the flea collars and the over the counter flea medicine did not work. Also, they say to use a little vaseline on them to relieve hairballs. Would anyone know if this is safe and will not harm my cat? I had to do something when I saw his condition. Thanks ... View related article. - Becky
