I gave my cat 2 capstars and almost a week ago gave her the first month treatment of advantage 2. I still see a very very few fleas so can I give her one more capstar or would that be harmful

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can actually use Capstar daily to every other day to effect so yes you can go ahead and give it. Remember to also comb her hair to remove the dying fleas and also vacuum all the surfaces that have contact with Jackie. Good luck and have a good night!
