So I try giving my cat this pill in her food, but I broke it in half and she only ate half of her food. Which in turn meant she only got half the pill... Let's still work or be as effective if she gets the other half in a few hours?
Can you use this on a pregnant cat?
Given that it's not uncommon for cats to have dramatic reactions to this product I definitely would not.
DO NOT USE. I had the unfortunate experience of suffering through my unpregnant cat’s reaction as within a minute her heart was pounding so hard, I thought it was going to explode whilst I sat there s...

Capstar is given orally and not topically, so there should be no problem giving the dog a bath.

Can I give the flea control tablet to a pregnant cat?
can i give my 8 week old kitten a bath after giving him a capster tablet for fleas? if so what should i use and how long after taking the tablet should i wait?
Bath in Dawn original blue dish soap. I work at a veterinary clinic and that is what we use on puppies and kittens. We bath straight after administering capstar as it's an internal treatment and doesn't wash off.
Can my dog eat after eating acostar?
I'm not aware of anything prohibiting dog or cat from eating after being given Capstar. The tablet itself can be given with or without food so can't see that your dog couldn't eat with the exception o...

My dog accidentally ate 2 cap star tablets (small dog). Please help
I'd only be concerned if your dog shows any adverse reaction such as vomiting, lethargy or not responding. For most dogs, they do not have an adverse reaction, however I'd still recommend that you just call your vet to get some professional guidance.
Thank you, I did call my vet and kept an eye on him and he was fine thank god :) (it'd be all out of his system by now I think, it's been over 24hrs) I was freaking out because I had been seeing that ...

Can my 8 week pregnant cat take capstan?
No, pregnant and lactating cats should not be given Capstar. There's anecdotal evidence that it may cause birth defects in the kittens which is why the company no longer puts on the packaging that it'...
Read mores ok to use on pregnant/lactating cats - if you're wondering why the package doesn't state "Don't use on pregnant/lactating cats", it's because the evidence is anecdotal only, so until it's actually proven, the company limits its liability by just removing the statement from packaging! Unfortunately, you'd have to treat the pregnant cat the long way, a flea bath, followed by a spot on treatment as well as cleaning anything that the cat lies/sleeps on and you would have to do this a few times to ensure that the flea cycle is broken. Hope that helps, good luck!
Thankyou she gave birth lastnight so looks like baths it is i dont want the babies getting sick from capstar so ill leave them.
My cat is currently pregnant can i give her the exelpet tablet or will it hurt her babies in someway?
With these tablets they are ingested into the blood stream and as it is a poison it could easily affect the kittens. So be very careful after she's had the kittens also as it will be in her milk. I d...
Read moreon't like these tablets at all because these tablets killed my much loved cat and made my dog very distressed all within 24 hours. Try the spot on treatment my vet recommended it as it doesn't poison the cat or go into their bloodstream it targets the fleas only. In saying that try to check with a vet what is safest for pregnant and nursing cats and just hold off giving the tablet until your sure its OK. Good pet shops should also be able to advise you
I gave my cat a tablet yesterday morning (capstar) there were six in the packet. Do I have to use up all tablets to be effective or not? When should I give the cat another one? There is nothing on the package to advise.
Be very careful do not GIVE another tablet for atleast 4 weeks. I would not touch this tablets again after it killed my much loved cat. My vet said these tablets poison the animal but spot on treatments poison the flea's & it can kill

You need to use a medication like Capstar in conjunction with a product that will interrupt the life cycle of the flea by rendering the eggs that are laid "unviable".
One of the medications like Fron...

I don't know what that will do to your dog. Is there a help line on the packet? I'd watch out for panting.
I'm not qualified to answer this question, it's one for the product manufacturer or a vet. They can be given daily, that's all I know. Just keep an eye on the dog, watch for anything different, but i...

How often can u give a large cat a capstar tablet??? Doesn't say on the box....
I was told by the vet it could be as often as daily or every other day. I wouldn't do that personally, just my choice.
Once you kill the fleas with Capstar, you should start applying something to prevent re-infestation. Capstar only kills fleas already on the animal. Prevention is better than cure!
Hi would like too know, how long does a capstar last, cant seemed to find answer anywhere.?
It's not like a flea treatment for on the bak of the neck that lasts a month. You can give them to a cat every 24hours from the info I've read. I give them to one of my cats when I see him scratch or I see fleas on him.
As above, it's only a short term treatment, I can't really remember how long it lasted, just a couple of days I guess, seeing it can be applied so often. I've gone back to the spot on, on the back of the neck and find it much better.
It only last for a couple of hours. It only kills fleas. It doesn't prevent infestation recurring.
