I took her straight to the tub and soaked her down. The flea fell out and died :-) I haven't put flea guard on her because she was so little but now that she is 3 pounds I'll do that. What a freaky night! Did any of your Yorkies skin get infected by the flea guard? Just curious! And thankfully she had her last set of shots today and they also made sure she was flea free :-) |
My first question was if she was on a flea preventative, but I see you answered that. You will need to nip the flee thing in the bud quickly. It can cause a skin reaction in some animals but it is usually upon the initial application and should go away in a few days to a week. It depends on the sensitivity level really.
