Default TEXANS!!!Flea and tick fiasco!',,,,

Help! I'm so stressed and upset! So let's start off I am at my witss end I'm hopping to get an appointment with the vet tommmarow I called tonight and left a voice mail p. Hopefully they can squeeze me in. So I am from Arizona, tucson arizona. Have had Yoshi bear the 2nd there for 3 years never gave her any heart worm or flea and tick preventative. She was fine I never had any problem with it. About a 2 weeks ago I moved to auatin tx. Now I know that there I will have a problem with this. so before I moved got here tested for heart worm and put her on a preventative right away. Then I got frontline plus and out that on her. So I was so happy thought I was covereed well to my dismay and horror a few days after moving into austin I was cuddling the love angel and felt something ahead like a bump well it was a tick and I was repulsed and shaking but I managed to get it out. I went to the vet the very next day he gave me some topic steroid and animicrobial spray for the bite and removed what was left of the tick. He told me that sometimes frontline is not very effective. He suggest I use nex guard he told me to give it to her that day I did . I was happy the whole ordeal was over and she was now protected. Well about a week later today actually I found something crawling in her fur. It took me for ever to get it out because it jumped so fast and was so small I think it is a flea. I cleaned her up and washed her with flea shampoo.but I really at my wits end here I didn't know what to do any suggestions please!! anything will help I have never dealt with this before and it seems every thing I do goes wring I just want to protect my baby.
Thanks so much sorry for the rant just aooooooooo stressed and worried.
