Fleas are small insects that can rarely be seen with the naked eye, especially when they are trapped in your pet’s thick fur. However, you can easily tell if your pet was infested with fleas from its behavior.
Flea bites cause skin redness, irritations, and itchiness, determining your pet to become restless, nervous, and anxious to find a good surface to scratch its fur onto. Flea bites can appear on all body parts but you should carefully examine your cat’s ears for signs of blood, dirt, redness, and scratching.
Moreover, the skin on your pet’s groin, the base of the tail, and the belly will also appear red and bumpy.
