| Have you tried doing a bug bomb? That helped get a lot of the fleas out of our house, then we had to finish up with the baking soda, and the carpet cleaning. The bug bomb worked, but my cousin let it reinfest. I told him when he got his cat home to immeadiately give him a flea bath to kill anything that was left if there was anything and he didn't and there were fleas on his cat... so it reinfested. Our vet told us to use the capstar and the vectra within 30 minutes of each other and to give it to all the pets whether or not they had fleas. My dogs were flea free, but Chip must have had something inside of his body because he would just itch and itch. After giving the meds he was fine.

| Our vet told us that the capstar only kills what is inside the body. See if you can get some vectra from your vet. It's a gelly like substance that you put on their backs starting from their shoulder blades to their butt. It kills the fleas on the outside.

| It works really good. We gave Mojo (kitty) the Capstar, waited 30 minutes, gave him the Vectra and now he is flea free for 2 weeks!

They are being killed from the inside out- when they bite the dogs skin, they get the medicine...does that make more sense!?

| YT 1000 Club Member | I just called the vet for advice on this whole miserable situation. My vet doesn't carry the capstar but has heard of it. I asked about the fleas being inside the body and they weren't too sure what that meant either. Also said that we are in the heart of the flea season right now and it should be over soon. She's supposed to call me back with more info. I was talking to the vet tech. and she's going to talk to the Dr. and call me back shortly. Hopefully some relief for Roxie is in sight! |
