Well, I dont have carpet at least so thats one big plus in our favor though I read they can get in the crevises of wood flooring to. But I already washed thier beds, blankets, our sheets where the yorkie sleeps w us. I washed the throws and things on the couch that the dog comes in contact with. I dont have a real good working vacum where I dont have carpet but I used a dust buster and vacumed over the couch. I think by washing the beds from time to time surely has to keep down on the eggs from hatching. I just hate the thoughts of even one flea on my dog. Because one flea can lay 50 eggs a day. So Im afraid those will hatch. Its just alarming to see and think how fast they "can" be a problem. I dont think we've ever had a big issue. We dont really get bites. I've only had one flea bite since we've had them almost two years now. But I still just get worried that we "could" have em and just dont see em or know. But Im just soo annoyed that Ive spent sooo much on Meds when they're not working or getting the benefit of. My yorkie just had a bath Friday so I hate to re bathe him. He has a lot of dandruff flakes in places so I dont want to dry him out. But I may start just doing every bath w fea shampoo or dawn just as extra measures. Why not right? But my yorkie tonight I noticed he has a dime sized raw reddish place on him. I dont know if its from the Frontline or a bite irritation or what. My dogs dont get to go out much. Hardly ever in our yard. ( I know they should) but I think they get most of what they get from the groomers where theres other dogs and all that dog hair. That usually seems to be when I notice it is when they go there. Just over whelmed about being out so much money for no effects of the medicine and to know I need to treat them every month techincally to keep handle on this stuff. Ive been searching my yorkie tonight while he slept in my lap and I cant see anything. But I did get two off of him and I saw one last night but couldnt catch it. lol So I feel like he still has at least one flea... he's still scratching. I have a Lhasa apso too and she's more difficult to check she has very very thick hair and she's harder to handle and hold down but I got one off her too the other night after she'd been treated and she's still scratching..... |
