| fleas-Capstar Pills??? My vet gave me these and said if I see a flea to give it.. I can't seem to find any on Gizmo BUT, I am waking up with a lot of bites .. I am wondering if I should give it.. He is sooo black and won't stay still so I may just be missing the fleas.. I don't want to harm him but I can't take fleas in the house! Do you think I should give it? |

| I had a bad flea problem over the summer and my vet gave me the same pills, I gave them to my dogs and the fleas were off of them with in 2 hours! If you have fleas, you'll probably have to spray your house too...I had to twice! That's even with the advantix! Fleas were bad last year, I hope it's not the same this year |

| It never ceases to amaze me how quick Doctors hand out pill for everything these days, especially since for every pill, there are side effects. Why not just put some oil of rosemary in 16 oz. of water for a final rinse. It keeps fleas off too, without causing other problems down the road. |

Do you know any side effects of this pill? Or are you just assuming? | |
