| Fleas Our boys have not been on flea & tick meds since one of them had a neurological issue the day after after taking a dose of Nexguard. We haven't had any issues with fleas/ticks at home in Canada. We're in Daytona Beach Shores on vacation and we're having an issue with fleas. I keep bathing them & using a flea comb but every couple days I find another flea. I can't keep bathing them to resolve the issue or they'll probably end up with dry skin. As soon as they get a flea I can tell as they go crazy scratching & biting which is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions for natural solutions? Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated. |

| Hi, I think you need professional help at this point. You don't want them to lay eggs which they probably already did (sorry)!!! Talk to a vet in a hurry and get them on something that will kill the fleas and the eggs before you get in any deeper! Good luck!

| No natural solutions I know of that work. I don't normally have fleas here for some very lucky reason. A couple of years ago, I had an issue with fleas and used Advantage II and got them under control. Have not seen any fleas since. You can buy it on Petco without an RX I believe. Don't buy the stuff from Walmart.....the off brands. I have heard of some bad experiences.

| None of the natural stuff works honestly. I believe capstar kills fleas but you will still need some kind of preventive so you probably need to talk to your Vet about which ones are safe for your dog that had a reaction.
