Cement is too young to have that product now, and albomar won't be effective for fleas (which can transmit tapeworm!). I would recommend to apply another product like Stronghold kittens for example (it will treat both). Ask your local veterinarian for a prescription. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
