    Vet!

    Is she an indoor/outdoor cat?
    Has she been "done"?
    Is her poop solid?

    Frontline/Stronghold flea drops available from Vet.

    Vet!

    What kind of flea collar did you put on your cat? Was it specifically for cats, or was it a dog flea collar? The chemical in the collars for dogs can kill a cat, so check that first. Also, if you put a flea collar on the cat after giving it a flea bath, it's possible that you have inadvertently poisoned the cat. I'd get the cat to the vet, or at least call with the symptoms and see what they say. If it is an overdose from the flea medicines, you could be looking at liver and/or kidney failure, so you don't have a lot of time.

    First take off the flea collar if you haven't already. Definitely call your vet for advice. Some cats have allergies to flea powders and collars, the vet has drops you can buy that are less irritating.
