sorry about the flea infestation. Been there, done that. The last time being when Mr. Pumpkin (a lovely orange tabby that adopted us but needs his freedom (going outside) otherwise he mopes) picked up a batch from the boys next door. Rushed him to the groomer and he has not forgiven us for what he considers his drowning and near death experience at the hands of Andrew the Expensive ($42 for a cat bath?!)As much as I hate to poison my animals, I do use monthly Advantage (separate products for the dogs and cats). You will need to wait 2 - 3 days after the bath to apply it. But that should take care of the problem. My vet prefers Advantage to Frontline as it is less toxic. Doesn't last as long as Frontline but less likely to cause adverse reactions in sensitive animals. I order the stuff online as it is considerably cheaper than at the vets.
I don't think you need to shave off all your hair. Just dye it a color that fleas don't like.
