hi again
so, my dog itches all the time. she always has since we got her 4 years ago, and i always think she has fleas. she is on nexgard for fleas right now and has always been on something for the fleas. we switched from the topical to the pill last year. it drives me crazy. i haven't seen any fleas. she's half poodle and she's black so finding a flea on her would be hard. i have spent so much time flea combing and inspecting her, and her bedding and have found nothing.
i have quarterly pest control. we treat our yard as well.
finally i convinced my husband for us to bathe her on Saturday in Dawn, which i read will kill fleas on the animal. we bathed her and i looked and looked in the water and we didn't find any fleas.
so, my main issue is that we are going out of town for a few days and she will go to boarding. i have heard that when the dog and people leave the house for a few days, then come back, that all the flea eggs will hatch when you get back.
so, i'm terrified of that. my bug guy is coming today, for our regular service, so i'm hoping that will take care of any fleas too.
i am vacuuming every day.
i'm going crazy....LOL
so, here it is....the main thing that i'm afraid of, besides just the infestastion....is the plague.
yep. there was at least one case of it a few years ago in colorado, and it is from fleas. and i'm terrified that we might have it now in georgia.
i don't google....so i just keep telling myself that it's not in georgia.
but, well....
anyway, i've gone on long enough...it was helpful just to write it all down.
HA.
thanks for any reassurance
