thanks. i did try the dawn yesterday, and i'm pretty sure it got rid of atleast most of them. as i was toweling her off, quite a few dead fleas literally fell right off her. and i did use a conditioning spray, i think it's called perfect coat and has a picture of a yorkie on the front. it worked really well. and today is when her frontline needs to be applied again, so hopefully that will get the rest [if any].*
