A flea on Bentley's head :'( I gave him a bath yesterday and found a flea on his head!:eek: It was alive! We walk twice every day and I'm in Florida, any advice for flea medication? I've been using Revolution for puppies <5lbs. This is the first time I see a flea on him, he's not scraching though, he might have gotten it from the walk before the bath, should I keep using revolution? He's 4 months old and 4lbs Help!! |
Regardless of what these meds promotes, they're not 100% full proof. I use Advantix II (supposedly one of the best)for both Magnus/Zoey and at the start of summer, I found a tick on Magnus almost every day after our walk. Zoey, not so much but I carry her for most of the walk. You might want to consider trying Advantix and see if that works better in your area. But I suggest just checking him everyday or at least several times a week with your fingers. Check EVERYWHERE! I've found those parasites in some of places where I didn't even think to check before. It doesn't take long and better safe then sorry. |
I am also in Florida and use Advantix II. Abigail is 4.56 lbs. So far, I've found no pests of any kind on her, but she stays mostly indoors. |
I found a live flea on her head and some flea dirt on Pixie a couple days after a walk to the park last week. I put Revolution on them all and washed them all. I cleaned all their bedding as well as mine and vacuumed all the carpets. I check them several times a day and haven't found any flea dirt or fleas but they are all still scratching. I will bathe them all again in Dawn detergent next week. I don't want to find anymore. Hopefully Bentley only had the one and you took care of it. |
Fleas on my Chloe?? Un heard of.... But true, he's a house dog, but I did take him to a pet store, but he stayed in the shopping cart, he still has one or two. And he's on revolution.. I will wash the our bed linens in hot water, and vacuum . What do you think of a flea collar?? Has anyone had this happen?? He 7 lbs., I found one on his tummy. Thanks. |
Florida here, too. Our Vet recommended the monthly preventative Trifexis. We like it. It kills fleas. And prevents heartworm and controls adult hookworms/roundworms/whipworms. Our Yorkie hasn't had any side effects from it or fleas yet. |
Wash him with dawn dish soap, safe and kills the fleas. Revolution does not kill adult fleas but the eggs. I just found a bunch of fleas on my boys from visiting my parents and after a bath with dawn, let sit for 15 min. All adult fleas are dead. |
