| How long after????? How long after you put Revolution on, do you have to wait to give them a bath??? I put his on a few days early, because I found a flippin flea on him!! I was soo freaked out, called the vet, and they said a few days soon would be ok! But I forgot to ask about the bath thing! I hate fleas!! This is Luigi's 1st flea! I searched him for an hour, looking for other ones, but haven't found any thank goodness, but I will be checking again in the morning!! Poor Luig- I think he thinks I am nutso!!!

| We usually wait 2-3 days after putting it on to give a bath. I'm not sure how soon you can though, maybe someone here does |

| i use advanatge because it works in less than 15 minutes and its waterproof so you can bath right away. i would wait one day just to be sure though. ive never seem a flea up close. my boy scratches alot but only where his collar is. i heard yorkies scratch alot anyway due to dry skin. i look at his belly all the time, he like to be rubbed there and i have never seen anything move. what does a flea look like. i dont mean to be ignorant this is my 1st dog and i live in los angeles not a farm or out in the country when you would have lots of animals and fleas. |

| Well, I have never seen a flea either. But, its very dark and very tiny, and as soon as you see it, it takes off running ( I think!) They sure are very fast! But anyways, I was able to grab it with my nail after about 5 mins of chasing it and digging thru poor Luigi's hair, but I got it! I yelled for my hubby, but the flea jumped from my nail- he found it on the floor and stepped on it! Very, very small!! Thank goodness we were over at the new house and we don't have any carpeting yet, still the plywood, he saw it on the ground. He stepped on it, and there was a tiny bit of blood- probably Luigi's. My poor baby! So from what I saw- I think it was a flea, but not 100% sure. This is my 1st pup too. So maybe someone with more expertise than I will be able to answer that better than me!!!!
