I have NEVER had a problem with fleas. For some reason, I am having a hard time getting rid of them. I can not stand to see my poor little babies scratching. Every time I pick them up and try to find the little bugger. I Have bathed them every other day. I used capstar, They are on frontline. I do not like that stuff but what do I do. Jackie can not use it because she gets real itchy with it. So today I went to the vet and she put them on comfortis.I never used it before so I hope it works. They all had it around 3pm and 6 hours later they are still scratching. The most that I have seen on any of them is 1 or 2. Which is to many. I have been looking every where for food grade Diatomaceous earth.It works good and is non toxic. It kills the fleas by. slicing them up. It kills ticks fleas and all other kind of pests. But finding it around here is another story.I guess I will order it online. What other things can I do for these poor babies?
