Thank you for the replies. I am concerned about them in my home and have been vacuuming like a madwoman daily! I am surprised how quickly it seems he has gotten them...he wasn't even itching and then all of the sudden I noticed he was and did the Vectra right away but within the few weeks that should have been working we kept seeing them and picking off and bathing... We did wait almost 4 weeks before putting the Parastar on him to avoid too many toxins. I hate putting anything on him but clearly I need to have something after this.
I did call the vet and the receptionist said if his skin is irritated from bites before he will itch until it isn't irritated. She thinks the Parastar should work...I will go home from work today and check him for any fleas. I will not put anything more on him if this doesn't work, at least not for a month then I'm thinking Advantix II. I am considering "flea fogging" my house in case...thoughts on this?
I give him heartgard for the heartworm protection which is what was used when I got him but there was not a flea medication they had recorded using with him (he was a rescue). I really just want to see him get some relief and prevent an infestation at home! UGH. |
