| Need to STOP the scratching!!/ Flea Problem
Hi Everyone!
So for the first time ever we are fighting what seems to be a losing battle with fleas. Bambino and Lulu both have fleas and first thing this morning I will be running to Pet Supermarket to get Frontline because that works great for us. However, Lulu is scratching so bad that she is literally making her skin turn red and about to bleed. When I go through her coat I find maybe two fleas and I kill them. Lulu was not the host, Bambino was and he seems to be doing just fine. I'm really worried about all the scratching that Lulu is doing. They have been bathed with Tea Tree Shampoo and Oatmeal conditioner and that helped some but can you guys recommend any ointments or cremes or allergy medicines that I could possibly give her to stop the itching and scratching. I stop her from scratching every time I start hearing her start to scratch even if it's the middle of the night and she is sleeping but when I leave home I obviously can't control how much she scratches. I'm so mad that this is happening to her. We don't usually let our furbabies outside because of these reasons but my dad has let them play outside lately and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I need all the advice I can get! How to treat the scratching and maybe some stuff I could spray outside on our grass or something to try to get rid of the fleas around our front porch and yard. We live in Miami so humidity is always on and cold weather is rare to none existent so the flea battle will be an ongoing problem I know. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced! : |
