Ok, definitely new to this topic so please bare with me:
I happened to notice this morning when I was petting Sasha that I was feeling something near her skin so I would pick it out and it looked like a small black speck. I began feeling her over and every now and then I would find some more, some just small pieces, some a little bit bigger (not HUGE but just bigger than the specks). I'm not sure if it was flea dirt or not so I began checking near areas where I know fleas could be found and didn't see anything. She hasn't been itching at all and I've never noticed anything jump off of her when petting her. I bathed her in some Dawn dish soap this evening and scrubbed her twice very thoroughly making sure to get down to her skin but never saw any indication that any fleas were on her (nothing fell into the water). I plan on getting some k9 Advantix tomorrow to apply just in case there are eggs or something on her.
We have had a rather warmer winter here than usual. We got about 3 inches of snow 2 days ago and today it got back up to 50 degrees so really I probably should have been applying month preventative since we haven't had a very long "freeze" yet this winter.
Does this sound like it could be fleas or something else? Is there anything else that I could/should do? I've never had an issue like this.
Thanks!
