Hi I have a rescue cat (formerly feral but now very friendly) and she got recently diagnosed with dermatitis allergies(?) And got prescribed apoquel.

I apply revolution plus on the back of the neck every month for the past 5-6months, but I think my vet still suspects fleas for some reason. Is it possible that she could still have fleas on her body even with flea meds? Have you ever seen indoor cats with fleas even after applying meds on the cat? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply! Wow, I actually live in the south. I had no idea this area was flea heavy.

Apoquel does seem to be working at the moment as it stopped her scratching, I guess I just don't understand how it could be flea-related when I didn't see any fleas on her body. Is it possible that it is still a flea problem even if I have never seen it? The cost of the medication also makes it very hard to make it into a long term solution T_T.

I'm currently trying hypoallergenic cat food as well as to see if it helps.

Thank you again!
