Hi folks,
My wife, son and I found a recently strayed 3 month pup. When we took him to the vet they said he had fleas and open wounds from scratching. Cost us a pretty penny to get him 'defleaed' and injections started.
My concern is two fold. First, the vet said the deflea medicine would work over night. As a dad I was skeptical, is this the case? Second and most importantly my wife is three months pregnant and we have a three year old. Can anyone suggest any concerns or precautions in getting this little guy back to health and a family member? We live in China so there isn't exactly animal shelters to look for advice and despite my misgivings about having a new pet, once he's in, he's in. Whatever it costs? Any advice/suggestions would hugely appreciated as I am Irish and tend to fall back on the old school 'it'll be fine if he gets injections and a wash'
