Default fleas/ticks prevention

Other than regularly using something (Frontline, Advantage, etc) capstar is a good immediate killer of fleas (but not eggs).

Also keep in mind that Comfortis (sp?) is a prescription! For instance Zoe is 5.5 pounds but has had a weak stomach in the past as a puppy so she can't have any, per the vet! So be careful just giving to it to another dog, they may not be able to handle it!

Good luck everyone!
How stupid I am, now I will worry myself sick. Will call the Vet.
