| Flea Bites Question How do you know if your pup is still scratching from old bites or if they are getting new ones? Mya is on flea control...a few kinds...we just moved to an area with bad fleas so I just recently had to get it under control again... I treated the apartment and Mya...I check her regularly...and don't see any signs of fleas, no new bites that I can see on her belly...under her fur is hard to tell though... Basically...how long do old bites itch/bother them?

| I'm not an expert bit I would think it would take a good week for the itching to go away. Just keep checking her. Many years ago I had a very bad flea infestation (almost had a nervous breakdown) Put a bowl of water on the floor with a lamp on by the bowl at night. In the morning you will see if any fleas are in the bowl. They can't swim or jump out of the water and are attracted to the light. Also moth balls get rid of fleas.

| I agree about a week. It could be longer if they have a flea allergy
