I still can't believe I've seen NO sign of fleas till that bath - I still haven't seen one and I REALLY do look. Under their chins - under their arms - bellies - nothing. But they are THERE LURKING like the nasty bloodsucking evil creatures they are 
so....it takes frontline up to 18 hours to work and I already see a result from that - but now I need to treat my apt and especially my bed. I'm washing their little beds in hot water this weekend and solve this before it gets out of hand. Then I'm using the medicated shampoo my friend gave me to help their skin.
I HATE HATE HATE fleas and have never had them on my girls before 
THE NERVE of these disgusting creatures getting on our pets !  |
be sure to keep some flea treatment on them all the time because living in an apartment, if any one of your neighbors has them, they will be back!!!! you might want to keep something around to treat the carpet and treat it once a month or so. you can even go to your apartment office and ask them who they use to clean their carpet and see if you can get a good deal through them. it should only cost them 20-30 dollars each cleaning and if they would be willing to pass the savings on to you, it would be worth it to you and them to clean your carpets every couple of months just to ensure there are no fleas in the carpet. owning a property management company and managing several apt. complexes in the past, i know how much I would appreciate if someone had taken those steps in my apartment or house.
