I gave my cat and dog Advantage 11 last week and my cat is still scratching. I know I have to give them 3 more treatments, but does this mean she still has fleas? I bathed her yesterday and I didn't see any.

Best to check with your vet as your fur child could be suffering from the after affects of the fleas (like infected bites or such).
Always best to be safe vs. sorry and ask the expert!!
Wishing your fur family good health!!
I washed her again with dawn soap and the fleas are crazy. Can I treat her agai with advantage. The dawn killed the lives ones right away. My sink was full
Keep checking and keep treating. The scratching could be from the previous bites still irritating.
No I cleaned her today with dawn dish soap and she was covered. So when my husband gets home I will go back to the vet and get another does and vet spray will they ever go away
She may have irritated skin, or may still have fleas. Keep treating her
It sounds like for some reason the advantage is not working for you. You will need to ask your Vet why she could be covered with fleas again so quickly. Either the advantage is not working for you or you did not apply it correctly. After applying the Advantage fleas should be gone in a couple of days and stay gone for a month. It can be really hard to apply the stuff correctly. I take it into my Vet and he does it for no charge. I think it is one of the techs that puts it on.
Did you get the Advantage from your vet? They are entirely different meds for cat and dogs so be sure you are aware of this.
If you used Advantage on your cat last week you should not be finding that many fleas when you give her a bath so something is not right.
There are several months treatment in each package so do not give her another treatment without talking to her vet as it could be dangerous to her health.
Ask your vet about using Capstar on your cat as it is a 24 hour treatment that can be used with other flea meds.
