Capstar is a great medication to kill fleas present, but it has no preventative qualities. Also, not all flea collars are created equal. The only one I recommend is Seresto. Many of the older collars have older drug formulations in them that can lead to more side effects or less effectiveness . I would recommend a dose of Revolution. It will kill internal parasites and prevent fleas at the same time. Tapeworms are created by an animal ingesting a flea so it is important to treat your cat for tapeworms in the present situation.
