Found these weird looking tick-like creatures on my cat's chin. Any idea what they are? Attaching a zoomed out picture for scale.

These are fleas They are often found on the body of the pets U can apply selamectin spot on And try to clean the bedding material and the surroundings in which the pet lives Because ticks lay eggs also and further they may cause a problem

Thank you Doctor.

Dr. Anukarna Singh

Please apply spot on fiproforte plus (Cat) or spray fixotic advance without allowing any licking until completely dry . This will help to control the fleas that you have detected from both the cat and the immediate surrounding.

Fiprofort plus cat spot on will be better option
