| Fleas on Bama Boy, meds? Can't get rid of the fleas on Bama Boy. We use Frontline, and bathe him in generic flea and tick shampoo from Wal Mart. HELP!! What works for you that doesnt hurt them or cause sickness? THX, FM12 |

| Hi Sorry to hear that your having this problem. More than likely you'll need to treat your house. Even if you can't see them they're there. They have flea bombs that you can by at Walmart. Read the directions carefully, because your little one will have to leave for so many hours. Sorry, I can't remember how long it is. Anyway this should cure the problem. Oh! It's nice to meet you! |

| Welcome to YT!! I would address all these issues with my vet. I only use flea medication that my vet prescribes and was told not to ever use flea shampoo on Toto. She never, ever gets a flea in Colorado [we have been here for about 5 yrs.] so I seldom ever put flea meds on her but I have to use them when we visit our home in Alabama. Good luck ... those things are nasty and hard to get rid of!

| Go to your local vet and get a capstar pill if they carrie it I am a vet asst. and our clients love it. The product Is very safe starts killing in 30 mins. only last for 36 hours then use frontline or Advantix, advantage to keep under control. You must treat the house , yard or it is going to be a on going issue that you will never beat. Wal-mart products are a waste of money for most dogs and it is sometimes Dangerous we have animals come in that have had reactions to there flea and tick products. Good lucks fleas are horrible this year in our area. |
