FLEAS OMG! Grrr!!!

[chestermama]

I had fleas after moving into a place and I done everything, and then flea busters, hardly every see a flea. Its a powder you put into carpet, in ped beds ,sofas, around baseboards and it lasts a year, it is messy but it will work. good luck

Thank you all for your encouraging words and suggestions! I am very thankful to have this site to be able to get great ideas and to be able to blow off steam

If fleas are bad this winter I am really stressed to see what we face this spring with them

It can. the Vet gave me comfortis for my 4.25 lb dog. I gave it to him in a piece of hot dog a couple days ago. Thank god he had no reactions. I heard some dogs experience really negative side effects like throwing up and temporary paralysis

I gave my dog comforts last month, the 29th, and she threw it up. This morning I just found fleas on her!!! HELP!!! I can't believe this!

Holy...I would flip out with temporary paralysis and my baby...I hate any kind of meds, they scare me, my two weigh 5lbs each, so tiny to have meds in their systems like this. It's frustrating...

I had no idea! I googled it after I gave it to him. Thankfully he handled it just fine. The label did read it's for dogs under 5lbs

Give your baby a bath with dawn soap.

all this flea talk is making my head itchy

Oh no I bet you freaked after you googled it. It's so aggravating, the drugs for fleas give some bad side effects, but yet we can't live with fleas. I truly do not know how my two even got them, they are RARELY outside. It's like a flea apocalypse in SC

I have, dawn works wonders!

Giving her a bath now. What a shame because I gave her a bath yesterday! Her poor skin! What else do I do? I'm headed to the store after her bath.

[LoveMyBeowulf]

I sure did! That's so scary how they just showed up out of nowhere! Hopefully you get it all under control soon.

Girl I feel your pain, I put front line on mine on the 28th. It hit me out of nowhere! Wash, vacuum, wash, vacuum, make sure you treat your yard. I have not had flea issues and BAM we got fleas, in January

We have snow! Lol. This is nuts!
