That's a great idea. I got the number for the Hudson County Animal League and plan on calling early tomorrow. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a hardwood floor vacuum but i spent almost $900 already in efforts to get rid of the fleas.
Dollar was itching pretty bad again so i gave him an oatmeal bath and i found an adult flea but it was about half the size of the ones i've seen previously so im guessing it was a newly hatched flea. i feel like the couple spots i overlooked to vacuum are the spots they live in.
And no Dollar does NOT drink the water with vinegar, maybe a sip before barking at me. i tie up the vacuum bags with 2 plastic bags as soon as im done vacuuming and toss them out my porch into the garbage can.
my landlord who lives downstairs has a yard that dollar never goes into but she grows her own vegetables and im wondering if maybe thats the cause of the fleas? ( I live on the 2nd floor but i always have my window open with a window fan, but i dont take out the screen.) But then again she has a 4 year old dog with white hair that stays outside all day and he doesnt seem to scratch at all.
I came across a website about flea prevention and it mentioned something about keeping the dog's skin healthy through proper diet makes your pet less prone to be bitten. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? like what to feed him?
I'm taking dollar to the vet tomorrow to get some meds for the itching and continue the daily vacuuming. in 7 days i have to sprinkle the whole house with borax again but i really don't think i can go through that again. I just might have to call an exterminator and hope for the best. we'll see.
