Fleas can be frustrating to manage! Since you have already applied Frontline to Milo, consider also giving him a tablet of Capstar. This medication can be found in most pet stores and kills adult fleas in about 30-60 minutes. The Frontline will then be effective for preventing fleas for the rest of the month. Be sure to continue to use a good quality flea preventative regularly and discuss other prescription-based options with Milo's vet at his vaccine appointment. I hope that all goes well!
