One of my guys is allergic to flea bites. Just one sends him into orbit. And fleas have appeared on the scene this summer after 10 years of none! So I started back on the Advantage but found that dipping him in an oatmeal bath twice a day really helped. Bought the colloidal oatmeal bath treatment, dissolved half in a deep tub of tepid water to cover him as high as I could and dipped it over him for about 5 minutes. Didn't rinse. His coat was as soft as could be and he was really soothed. Stopped the itching. Trouble, but worth it. Sprayed cages, and all the combined efforts have helped............but not letting up my attack for a while! Forgot how worrisome fleas can be! Wonder if the extreme heat has brought them back? |
