Hi... this may seem like a silly question, but my 5-year-old Yorkie has fleas for the first time. She's had them for about a week.

We tried the flea collar, but my vet told me that wasn't very good and told me to give her the Capstar pill plus use Advantage. I've done both but the poor thing is still biting and scratching herself constantly. From what I've read about Capstar and Advantage, they're supposed to work immediately.

Has anyone every used either of these and have they been successful? Anything thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I feel so badly for her.

Thanks a lot.
