Why is my kitten's white fur pink after Advantage flea treatment?

Question

I've just used advantage flea treatment on my 12 week old kitten and his white fur is turning pink, is this a reason to be worried? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 9 days old | 1lb

As long as Sushi's behavior is normal and the only sign you are seeing is the change in color of the fur I wouldn't worry too much. I would consider changing to a different formulation of flea control, like a collar or oral (i.e. Seresto, Comfortis). If you continue with topical medication you want to make sure that you are getting the medication on the skin only. I know this can be difficult because there is so much in those vials. You can part the hair a little further up her neck toward her head to give you more working room.
