Help!!!!!

Thanks for the information. Did you leave the candle burning all night. What if I do that during the day?? I would be worried about it burning all night. I am having second thoughts about the breeder. Is it possible for fleas to be on my head..lol That is so disgusting. He is also still passing worms although they are dead. The vet said he would pass them for awhile. It is so gross. I feel bad not having him sleep in bed with us. But I don't want any surprises during the night.

I never tried it in the day time. I think your supposed to do it at night because the lit candle gives off heat and so when the fleas see the light they jump towards it and into the soapy water they go and die. I was anxious at first too, but I found that the candle was safe in the candle holder, and the water was all around it. I also enclosed the area off with baby gates from my Son and puppy so they could not get in. Also fleas like to live in crevises and corners, so another good thing I did was put eukaliptis(spelling)? oil on cotton balls and threw them around under furniture to help repel them naturaly! Also for your pup try washing him in dawn liquid soap, I know it sounds strange, but It works great, better than flea shampoos. If he is really infested soaking him neck down in warmer water for 10 minutes drowns out all the adults fleas. I dont think fleas can live on us, we are not the ideal canidate for them, they can bite us yes, but they prefer animals with fur, hair. Its easier to survive on a animal than a human.

Dolce does have his teeth still. Maybe I am not catching him quickly enough. He still have worms in his stool. They are dead. The vet said they will pass. He had worms stuck to his back end this morning. He is on strongid but I think he needs something else. I take him for another shot on 10/5. If I still see worms in the stool I am taking in a sample for the vet to check.

Well I tried a tealight candle in a baking dish for about 3 hours and nothing happened. I bought some powder for caprets to kill fleas yesterday. I left that on all day and vacuumed. I also read somewhere lemon Joy liquid detergant works. So I am going to give him a bath in that. He itches at his ears a lot. But as far as ear mites I don't see anything around his ears. I think the fleas are ok now. At least I hope. But the worms are still in his stool (they are dead worms). He went to the vet last Wednesday and had a dose of strongid. I give him another one on 10/1. Do they really take a few weeks to get rid of? What blood tests are recommended to see if he has any health issues??
