Question about Fleas Hi guys! I found a flea on Lila this morning. She uses frontline monthly but I've noticed that recently she's been very itchy on her hind area. I used a flea comb and didn't find any more fleas but she has a dermatitis back there. She's allergic to fleas and has had rashes in the past. (I found one flea on her last year but she developed a rash and she was put on capstar and prednisone). I'm taking her to the vet later. Should I do the entire flea treatment? (ie: capstar, fumigation, and cleaning everything?) Is it possible she only had 1 flea that wasn't killed by the frontline but we don't really have an infestation? - Esmeralda |
Yes if she ia allergic to them it only takes one flea thats how my dogs are too |
Yes the same thing happened to Georgie. He had an allergic reaction and we only found 1 flea. I know he didn't have a lot of fleas on him because our Boxer never had any on her at all. |
Yes, it's possible to have one flea jump on and bite your dog before the preventative kicks in and kills it. I know if one flea bites Lola, she itches for days. |
Mine are allergic too. One flea would send this Momma into code red flea killing mode:laugh: Seriously, if there is one, there are many more, and eggs and larvae too:eek: See if the vet will keep your baby for the day while you decontaminate;) Good luck and I hope Lila feels better quickly:love: |
