If she doesn't have all her shots, dont take her outside yet..No grass esp!! No dog parks no nothing..to keep her safe. After she has all her shots you can take her whereever..OH and don't take her to petsmart or anything like that. I would buy like advantix..its flea medicine that you put in between the dogs shoulder blades on the skin. I use advantix and have since peanut was a pup I love it, it works great! It also repels..not just kills..Also mosquitos and ticks

Did you try to google it? Just type what it looks like in the google bar and click "images" and see what comes up!! Check her body over for any bites or anything like that... And with the Advantix its once a month treatment. Try to do it the same day of the month..Example: Every 12 of the month she gets it on her. And after you put it on wait to give her a bath for a day!! Or you can give her a bath then put it on...
