| Do you think it's ok..... Sadie had a flea about a week and a half ago. I put some frontline on her. The next day the flea was still there (alive). I finally managed to get the flea off myself. Since the frontline didn't kill it, I don't think I got it all the way on the skin when I put it on her. I think it only got on her hair. She was being very wiggly when I put it on her. Anyway, she's got another flea now. I haven't been able to get to this one. I've seen it a couple of times, but she won't let me get it and then I can't find it again. I know it's too soon to use Frontline again, but I was wondering if anyone thought it'd be ok to use a flea shampoo? I feel like I need to do something, just don't know what to do. I didn't know if the shampoo is ok, or if it is considered the same as the Frontline.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i wouldn't use any other flea products without first calling the frontline company and asking them if flea shampoo would be an overkill of medication on their little system

| Poor Sadie!!! Fleas are not cool. I would bath her to see if that takes care of the problem. You might want to also go to the store and get the stuff to put on the carpet and furniture just in case there are fleas in the house. |
