heres my thought, if you had lice you would treat yourself, you would have to...dogs, albeit these Yorkies are our little babies, still need treatment. Its a rare case when they don't.

Miss Mini, because of allergies doesn't go out very often at all, she truly defines the indoor dog! She goes visiting to everyones house with me but rarely goes in grass etc.,, and yet she still pops up with fleas now and then...she is on the pill every month. I wouldn't risk putting her through it. please see your vet and talk in depth to him about it, please.
