Vacuum your entire home daily, every nook and cranny and under furniture. Wash everything that can be washed as often as possible.
Fleas lay eggs quickly, the eggs hatch about a week later perpetuating the cycle.
As suggested above, talk to your bet about flea preventatives. If your vet approves Frontline, you don't have to apply the whole dose. I split the smallest dose between my big boys.
Your vet may also prescribe something to help with the itchy, sore skin. |
Yup, using any pet shampoo will stun the fleas & you can either pick them off or they will go down the drain. Neem shampoo is my fav & it kills & repels most insects. Wet the head 1st & apply shampoo around the neck so the fleas don't go up on the head. They're allergic to the flea saliva, so giving them a bath will help sooth the irritated skin too.
I also split the dose of frontline plus.
