Well I posted about this issue a month ago:

A month ago, I found a flea on Sasha as well as some flea dirt. I bathed her twice in Dawn dish soap and applied K9 Advantix on her. I hadn't seen any fleas or noticed any flea dirt ever since I applied the Advantix.

This evening while I was cuddling with her after getting home from work, she had rolled over onto her back and I noticed a small black speck on her belly. Thinking it was just a fuzz I went to grab it but it moved and I couldn't catch it in time. I'm sure it was a flea but I wasn't able to actually catch it. I looked her over thoroughly trying to find it but I didn't and didn't find any flea dirt either. She hasn't been itching uncontrollably and I haven't noticed any symptoms that would indicate she has fleas.

I plan on giving her a Capstar tomorrow to kill whatever fleas she has on her and then applying Advantix. I planned on applying it on the 24th of each month but I know a few days early won't hurt and I don't want to wait especially with seeing what I'm assuming was a flea.

Again, is there anything else I should do? I thought applying the Advantix last month would have killed what was on her and helped to repel against them for the month. I guess I'm confused now?
