| If you touch a wet Q-tip to it, does it turn red? If it does, it's "flea dirt". Fleas suck the blood and what you see is digested blood. Have you noticed your Yorkie scratching a lot? |

| It's probably flea dirt. I would wash her in Dawn Dish Liquid.

| you can give a small cpastar pill to kill any fleas on your baby then spray with fronlint spray that should last a month also check her poo for tapeworms that come from fleas if she has them you can get a pill for it from the vet for about $2 or $3 called dronzit
