Fleas are so bad right now in Texas! It didn't really get cold in the winter so I've been hearing that this year they are worse than ever. Poor Lacy is allergic to flea bites and has been so itchy. I've never had a big flea problem but even one flea getting on her makes her itchy. She got fleas on her for the first time this year about a month ago while staying over at a friend's house. I bought advantage a couple days later to put on her. The fleas were gone and she hasn't been scratching as much until this week. I guess the advantage wore off early because I noticed a few fleas on her last night. So the vet recommended Frontline because it is supposed to last longer than advantage. So we're trying that this time. I've also been giving her Children's Benadryl for the allergy. I've given her 3mL 3 times today (vet's suggestion). She's been a little sleepier than normal but at least stops scratching for a while. It just seems worse than ever this year and it seems impossible to keep fleas completely off of her. I guess we'll do all we can though..
