Cats are exciting,
they're all stretchy and sleek
with pointy little ears
and sharp, squishy little feet
They purr or they hiss
they lick or they pounce,
if they're mad they will sulk
or leave with a flounce
They'll sit in your lap
and allow you to pet them
they own you, you see
and you're lucky to get 'em

Flea allergy dermatitis or FAD, is a condition seen in dogs and cats who are hypersensitive to flea bites. These patients can have an extreme skin reaction even from just one bite due to their sensitivity to flea saliva. The condition results in very inflammed skin, skin infections and excessive scratching and discomfort. See your veterinarian for flea prevention measures.
