Yes, you can absolutely place the Seresto collar on Figgy after a flea and tick bath. If you are still seeing live fleas, it may also be worth giving him a dose of Capstar, which will kill the adult fleas quickly, providing a bit of relief. The Seresto collar will then be able to provide more lasting flea prevention. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
