It is fine. I understand. I do believe those two dogs are carriers but there could be even more dogs carrying them. There are a few small breeds running around in these apartments. It's just two of them that play around my apartment building. | |

| My vet prescribed Revolution, which controls fleas, ticks, and heartworm. They are drops you apply once monthly between the shoulder blades. My Bella was recommended Revolution because it can be given to puppies (Bella weighs only 3 pounds), but there are other brands you can apply to larger Yorkies and adults. |

YT 2000 Club Member | Do not ever let off flea bombs in your house! I did that and had three poodles at the vet in seizures. They lick the stuff off the carpet, ingest it and were so sick. Be very careful what chemicals you use. Use borax soap sprinkle it on your carpet and vacumn it up. That works to kill fleas. Use a preventative like Revolution to keep fleas away. |

YT 2000 Club Member | I would not spray if I have a dog in the house. They lick and it gets in their system and then you have a very sick dog. Just rip tlhat carpet up if you can and get rid of it. Or be very careful, remove the dogs totally and if you must spray, have a carpet cleaner come and fully clean that chemical off the carpets. I tell you your dogs will ingest this poison and you will have them at the er that night like I did! |

YT 2000 Club Member | Last year I used Revolution on my Yorkies. You have to go to the vet and get a heartworm test before using this stuff. I hate using anything, This did not cause a reaction but this year I am researching again. I have found nothing natural to kill these darn fleas and ticks. Still looking. Little dogs have a tough time with all these poisons. I am scared to use anything. |
