Jeez. so the vet prescribed dollar a steroid for the allergies and he told me to start him on it if his itching started to get bad and surely enough if it did. so i started him on the steroids and a couple days later the itching stopped and i didnt see any more flea bites. i took the vacuumming down a notch to every other day and i thought i was finnaly getting rid of the fleas. (getting all the baseboards and moving beds started to get real annoying)
Two days ago dollar started to itch real bad and i figured it was because i lowered his medication to every other day like the vet told me.
I woke up today to an itch on my stomach and it looked like a flea bite so i checked to see if dollar was getting bit and he had a few bite marks by his tail. Im starting to notice a pattern, i dont know if theyre get hunry of theyre hatching, but about every two weeks, the flea problem seems to reappear. has anyone else noticed this?
I forgot to reapply frontline on the 14th so i put it on today but now hes scratching himself all over again.
Ive heard mixed results with the Diac. earth so i havent tried it. i spread borax around the house and apparently that doesnt work either. I was hesitant to use salt because people have said that if the alt comes in contact with water, it will get sticky and probably ruin the hardwood floors.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
It cost me over $1000 in vet visits and supplies so far and i refuse to spend another penny until i can get a guarantee. There are so many pest control services with prices ranging from $150-$350 and i dont know which name i can rely on to get rid of this problem.
Anyone in the tri state area that knows of a trustworthy Pest control service that services the northern New Jersey area, please PM me with the information. |
