Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with fleas with Katie. When I had three other little ones, I occasionally but had to deal with them. I don't remember much, but I knew that they'd hide in the ears, so I would wet them and the face first and apply shampoo there first. I used a drying powder on the ears afterwards. I rarely had to deal with them, but I always used a preventative. One of my little girls was allergic to fleas, so I had to use two different preventatives two weeks apart. One killed them instantly but wasn't effective on ticks. Fortunately, now I can use something more effective for both fleas and ticks. I never had to deal with getting fleas out of the house luckily. |
