Yes, it is certainly possible that Suki has fleas. I recommend giving her Capstar as well. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes, and it's safe to give with the Advantage II. You can pick up some Capstar at your vet's office to give her before Tuesday. Keep in mind as well you will need to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Sometimes cats can develop a flea allergy if they are heavily infested with fleas, and you would see continued hair loss and licking of the body. If you see those signs after flea treatment, have Suki seen by a vet. The vet can confirm if she does have a flea allergy and can treat her for it. I hope this helps!
