| One Flea I got my baby Wednesday night. We took her to the vet today and he said she was great and gave her the flea stuff that goes on their back. We have been home for a few hours and I was brushing her with a flea comb just to get her used to grooming and since she doesn't have much hair. I Found a bug on her! I don't know if it was a flea as I've never seen one. It didn't hop it was easy to kill. We have two other dogs and they take the pills for flea and heart worm. So has my sweet little baby infested us or is it a fluke? I took her outside for the first time today before she had her flea treatment. Doh! What should I do? I went over her with the flea comb really well several times and found nothing else. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | It doesn't sound like a flea to me. They are usually very small and dark brown or black. They do hop and are difficult to catch and kill unless it's biting you. However, if by some chance it was a flea and you didn't see anymore, the medication on her back should take care of the problem. I wouldn't worry, just keep an eye out during grooming. |

| I agree, if the bug was easy to catch, it probably was not a flea. I saw a flea for the first time when I was 42 years old, lol. You will know it when you see one of those little boogers. Congratulations on your new baby!

| Thanks ladies. I think the bug had wings so maybe it wasnt a flea. |
