Yeah I'm hoping the vet calls me soon so I can stop stressing out. I'm hoping I was right to get the flea meds on him ASAP. I don't know how long he's had them for, and thought maybe if he had them for a while that could be what's making him sick... I read a few articles on all of the parasites and bacteria fleas can carry especially in areas with lots of rats (I live downtown in a city so there are likely lots of those).
He's been itching more than normal this month (he has dry skin from what we think is a chicken allergy) so we saw increased itching when he was on rice and chicken because he was sick, but now that fleas are in the picture, I'm wondering if all of his itching is from flea bites?
Anyone on here ever deal with fleas? Someone told me that if you can see them crawling on him (I saw 3 on his belly) that he's probably been infested for a while, is this true?
I'm starting to wonder if I'm driving myself crazy playing Sherlock, but I want to know whats making my baby sick.
