That's because the fleas are in other places. They can be in the house, the dog bedding, the yard, etc. You may pick them off your dog, but if they are everywhere, new eggs will hatch, and they will just come right back. One single flea bite can cause a dog to itch, scratch and be miserable for days. Poor Benny shouldn't have to suffer with blisters or pimples. I swear to you, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just concerned for your sweet Benny.
Except that they WILL come back! |
Great post, I forgot about fleas giving tapeworm, to the OP, you need to check the feces and look for any white pieces that look like rice. Tapeworm can cause many problems for a dog, it sucks all the nutrition out of food. By the way, you can also catch this from your dog.
