Hi guys!

I found a flea on Lila this morning. She uses frontline monthly but I've noticed that recently she's been very itchy on her hind area. I used a flea comb and didn't find any more fleas but she has a dermatitis back there. She's allergic to fleas and has had rashes in the past. (I found one flea on her last year but she developed a rash and she was put on capstar and prednisone). I'm taking her to the vet later. Should I do the entire flea treatment? (ie: capstar, fumigation, and cleaning everything?) Is it possible she only had 1 flea that wasn't killed by the frontline but we don't really have an infestation?
