I just got done vacuuming the whole house once again and still working on bedding. I have not seen them in the house but I just want to make sure nothing is in the house. It grosses me out and makes me itch. Jake was loaded with Fleas. The vet showed me what they look like as some where on him and he had that flea poop when she combed him out with the flea comb. Now I know what they look like. He is an outside dog, so they said I shouldn't be concerned about the house but I felt like I needed to wash everything again. We will have to bomb the garage tonight since that is his home and where he primarily hangs out. Thank goodness he is an outside dog or I would have no hair left on my head from being very upset and frustrated! I have sprayed and treated stuff for now until Charlie gets home. They ended up giving him two tablets of Comfortis which is an oral flea treatment to get him through this month and take care of the problem. Then we are supposed to switch to Vectra 3D brand after this month. He has been on Frontline Plus but the vet had said some fleas have become resistant to it and apparently that is what happened to poor Jake! Wonderful...
I hope after all this it takes care of it!
Now I just need to get vacuuming in on my weekly schedule on the to do list. The vet said since he is an outside dog some could come in just by transfer from where ever so I should do that anyways.
Oh the things I am learning...parenting a dog -it is like parenting a child -you learn as you go!
