-
Use veterinary-approved flea treatments like imidacloprid (Advantage) or fluralaner (Bravecto), applied topically or given orally as directed.
-
If cedar oil is accidentally applied, wash the area with mild soap and water, and monitor for signs of skin irritation (redness, swelling) or respiratory distress; consult a vet if symptoms appear.
-
For a natural alternative, use a flea comb daily and wash bedding in hot water; vacuum frequently to remove flea eggs and larvae.
