She gets into everything and my parents don't keep the cleanest of houses, they are total pack rats so there is plenty of breeding ground for the fleas to lay eggs..

I had another battle this afternoon with my parents about it so hopefully something will come of it this time.

Good luck, it's hard enough to get rid of them when you have total control, but when your parents are fighting you, that would be difficult. I have read that putting moth balls in the vacuum bag kills the fleas and/or eggs, and you can buy some moth balls that have a lavender scent and don't smell that bad. I hope you vet has some ideas, that's got to be pretty hard on Duke.
