My cat has a bald spot after flea treatment. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hi there! There is a little bald spot on my kitty where I applied advantAge. Should I be concerned about that and is there a way to prevent that from happening ? The last two times I applied it it didn't happen . Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

It is a well known side effect that can occur when using a spot on. As long as the skin does not turn an angry red, oozes or otherwise looks injured, you do not have to worry, Eventually the hair will regrow. There really is no way to avoid that. You may want to try another brand for cats next time.
