well aside from not eating and the fleas...

Do you see fleas?

If you see fleas now then you know fleas are the problem. If you saw fleas previously, she could be allergic to flea bites.

Get a flea comb and comb out every flea you can. Give her liquid benadryl to help with the itching. (ask vet or others on here for dose)

If she is going to eat wet food, give her a high quality one like Natural Balance Meat roll (which you can use to grate up on her dry food)

I wonder if Frontline does the same thing as the pill you gave her. She can overdose on flea treatments so you might want to wait until next week to do that. Using spray on her, the pill and frontline is definitely overkill. You might consider just the flea comb, a bath, the flea comb and another bath. Treat the house and NOT her with spray.

Ok now you've got me scared to death!!!!!!!!!!!
The vet said that the capstar pill kills what fleas are on her..frontline prevents new ones.....
I haven't used spray on her, just treated carpets, bedding, etc....

And they said it was ok to give the pill one day and frontline the next.

BUt now Im scared!!!!!!!!!!!

I thinnk you are fine as long as the vet said it was okay thats the opinion I would go with.

The breeder I bought Brie from told me if she doesn't eat to go to petsmart of petco and but this stuff called Nutrical. It is supposed to sustain them with nutrients and vitamins if they are not eating. Follow the directions on the package. She told me to squirt the recommened amount onto my finger a put it on the roof of their mouth and they will lick it off.

If they said to do it, then that's fine. I wrote that response before you put it on her. sorry. frontline kills the fleas that are on her too...starts acting within an hour.

I gave shelby a bath then used flea product the first time I had to deal with this. Later I learned you aren't supposed to use the stuff for a couple of days after a bath. oh well. she was fine.

now if the fleas still "bug" you, pick them off and use a flea comb. if she is itching...like crazy, give her a little benadryl (after asking vet)

Im sorry if I overreacted to your post as well. It just scared me. I get such great advice on here, then It alk to friends, etc..and get totally different advice (mind you these are not yorkie owners, just dog owners)

Thats what the vet said to me, at least 48 hours after a bath before using frontline, which it was.

I'll just keep an eye on her...thanks!
