Of course since essential oils are highly concentrated they are not recommended to be used internally.

That would be the worst though, none of those items are toxic in the long-term. They just might upset her digestion. I understand the reluctance to use most commercial flea treatments as they are toxic. I would suggest you talk to your vet about an organic flea treatment such as FleaFree or various others if you are looking for a non-toxic (and effective) flea treatment.

Apply some Advantage, Frontline, or Vectra to kick flea butt. Lavender oil can be harsh on the digestive system, and even on your skin if it's not diluted in a carrier oil, like almond oil. Tea tree oil is very nasty tasting but I'm not positive of its effects on the body when ingested. Call your vet ASAP. She may need treatment. EDIT: Advantage, Frontline, and Vectra have been tested and are not toxic. (Vectra is toxic to cats, though. Don't apply it to a cat ever.) That's not going to help with the fleas.
