Hey all -

We're out here working in the woods of Alabama, and Stitch is having a pretty bad flea problem. In the past 6 weeks, he's been given 2 doses of Frontline and 1 dose of Revolution, and I'm still finding 6-10 fleas on him every couple of days that I have to pick off.

I'm too scared of overdosing him to give him any more treatments...I bathe him every 5-6 days in flea shampoo and am worried that more bathing will dry out his already irritated skin...

What is there left to do? Ideas for my itchy Stitchy?
