At 8 AM I called her and asked what kind of flea shampoo to use. She said "don't you dare put any of that stuff on her ... ever!" I explained that we were traveling and she said for us to just remain calm and when we stopped for the night to simply bathe her in her regular shampoo [Coat Handlers] and pick the nasty things off one by one and kill them! We did and only found about 3-4 on her. I always trust Dr. Lucy because Yorkies are her specialty and is the only vet that I truly trust! She also recommended that I do Toto's grooming myself ... especially the bathing. She may look a little ragged, but I have peace of mind knowing what she is bathed in and who she is exposed to. Good luck!

I live in Alabama too! What part do you live in?
