Advice re frontline & fleas
« on: September 30, 2011, 12:23:38 AM »
Hi
My sister got a little cavalier puppy last friday and has been bringing her round every day to socialise with Connie.  I noticed flea dirt on the puppy this evening and we spotted a live flea.  Frustratingly she was checked over on monday by the vet who said she didnt have fleas.  She has taken her to the vets and been given something which she is sorting out this evening.  Now my question is that now i've washed her bedding, hoovered, sprayed and frontline combi'd Connie as she was due anyway but i noticed her scratching, is there anything else i can do.
I'm worried my house has been collected fleas for the week she's been coming here.

Buy a spray to treat the house.

Indorex is a good one http://www.petmeds.co.uk/p-3454-indorex-household-flea-spray.aspx?_kk=indorex&_kt=42e51600-8995-4b94-a484-55d9a7618484&gclid=COLB1rvOw6sCFYMKfAodHkmZ3g&. Your vet may stock it but if you're willing to wait a few more days you'll probably find it cheaper online if you do a search.

I ordered some flea stuff from www.netpetshop.co.uk and noticed they sell Indorex Spray (but I'm not yet sure if it's safe if you have cats so I didn't order that) but I only ordered my stuff Monday and it came yesterday so pretty speedy service!

Thanks.  I've also sprayed so hopefully we'll be okay.
