Flea Comb: use wet or dry? Ceeby hadn't been in my house two hours until he had picked up a flea or two. One is all I've seen. I have two other house dogs and they have carried fleas into my carpet. Fleas have been really bad here this year. Anyhow, he is now twelve weeks old. Last week, I put Frontline on him. he got nausea (even vomited). He got lethargic. So, I washed it out. Then, I went to the vet and bought a flea comb and some Advantage. They told me to use the flea comb first but when I have tried to use it, he squeals like a little pig and I have to put him down. I see a tiny bit of his fuzz (which I didn't think he even had cause his coat is so shiny and long, but very thick). So, I am going to bath him in flea soap or Dawn today and try to use the comb again. I guess my question is, is it better to try to use the flea comb on wet hair? Thanks |
It depends on the coat. I can use the flea comb on dry hair on Jewels and it doesnt cause any breakage. She has a silky coat and the comb just goes through real easy. Chachis hair is cottony and if I use it on his dry hair it pulls on his hair and pulls some out so I only use it on his wet hair. |
the coats on yorkies are so fine and cottony even if they appear thick. the flea comb has very little separation between the teeth of the comb which will pull and bunch up, I think those combs are made for coats for smoother coat breeds, :confused: try using a barber comb the separation of teeth R alittle wider and still will be affective just a suggestion! |
Flea comb Thanks for your replies. I read on another thread to not bath three days before or after using Advantage so I just went on and applied that to him for now. You'd have thought I was killing him. he didn't used to be so skittish. he would let me hold him and pet him forever. But, since my husband gave him his last puppy shot a couple of weeks ago, he has been skittish to either of us doing anything for him. I am hoping he will get over this. I had planned on grooming him myself but i can hardly even bath this little squirmy thing. |
Oh I dont a lot about fleas. But I do hate them. Hope you get them all. Good Luck. |
