At work they use Adams spray, I forget the exact type. But the prevention is only temporary, like less than 1 day. It's just an instant kill type of spray. I don't know if I want to use a flea shampoo, I don't really think there are any fleas on her. I just want something to prevent them, as we cannot find a single one on her. Until we can get to the vet. Will probably start her on Comfortis at that time, or something to help. But I just need a temporary relief for the poor girl if there could be more fleas somewhere or if it's just 1 she picked up and we killed.
But I have seen and gotten a PM by Dwerten personally, saying that even 1 flea bite can irritate them up to 3 weeks if they have a flea allergy. Is it always that they get inflamed/swollen if allergic? Is it possible she was bitten just by the one I may or may not have seen go down the drain when I bathed her and is just giving her itching problem? All symptoms other than the inflame/swelling indicate a flea allergy or bite. Although not the paw thing, either.. I don't know!
