Hi, My 11 week old kitten just came home from his care taker and I found flea eggs and a flea on him. The care taker advised that he had given him a dose of Revolution about 1.5 weeks ago. What should I do now?

It's safe to give Chester Capstar. This is a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes. Wait until it's been at least two weeks since he last was treated with Revolution, and then it's safe to give him a repeat application of it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
