Picked up my new baby last night, she is beautiful, 14 weeks old. She is UK KC registered, and seemed to be well looked after by the breeder. But I noticed that she is infested with fleas. I am really disgusted with the breeder. He said she might have a few mites, cos he had the central heating on. He said she had been taken to the vet, and gotten the drop on the back of the neck for fleas and mites.
How do I get rid of them. I need to check with him when she got the treatment, but I assume it was the start of the week. Should the fleas not have died. We werent finding any dead ones! All alive and kicking.
We washed her last night with puppy shampoo and tea tree spray. The all headed to the head, and we got a lot combed out, but I am still finding some this morning. Do I continue washing and brushing, or should I take her to the Vet. Also, do you think there will be eggs in my house now - will I need to get the house treated as well?
Has put a bit of a downer on my excitement - the poor thing must have been tortured with them
