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 !  |
you are right dawn works!! it kills them but you need to go through and pick them off afterwards. they shouldnt run. You may find a few still alive because they prob came from the head. this is what i read to do. first make a huge soapy barrier around the neck(lather around the neck even underneath so much that the fleas dont have a chance to escape to the head. you need to do this first because as soon as the water comes then they run. then start to lather the rest of the body.
