I checked her again thinking it's got to be fleas as I felt some little bumps around her neck which I thought might be bites of some sort. This morning I spotted a live one crawling on her. We're about 5 days shy of it being time to apply another round of Advantyx. I went ahead and put the flea stuff on her figuring that since she's had 3 baths since the last treatment it's probably wore off. I'm just wondering if applying another dose 5 days short of the month being up was ok? Any thoughts?
Join the club no one wants to be in. Fleas SUCK. (no pun intended)

What I've learned in few months is even though the products swear they work - I'm not too sure how true that is ....& holy cr*p - paying 100 bucks a pop for treatment SUCKS. I can't get over how expensive it is to combat fleas.

My girls have never had them but when I moved into an apartment - we are now officially battling them too. It seems they're really bad this year - The bites are a sure sign and the scratching is too - you don't have to actually see the 'flea dirt' (I never did) and only saw ONE flea also - but where there's one - there's always more.

Did I mention it sucks ?

Good luck.
