I know there's numerous threads already about fleas and so many articles. Seems like every suggestion is conflicting with another.
Anyway, a family member ordered Frontline Plus for our 2 cats + dog. This was a couple weeks ago and it has done nothing! I keep saying Frontline is crap, but some people don't want to listen to me and think that maybe the next dose next month will work. =/
Fluffy has been having hairball issues a lot recently because of the fleas and she has spots on her side and back near her tail where she's pulled out her fur. It's making me sad because I'm not sure what to do to help her, especially since money is an issue at the moment so we can't get any of them to the vet like we should.
Eevee is constantly scratching and trying to groom herself as well, but so far no fur loss on her that we can tell. Her fur is still very short, and even using a flea comb on her is difficult.
I thought about giving Fluffy a bath using dawn dish soap just to help as much as possible, but she's not thrilled about getting a bath and being touched in certain areas, mostly her belly.
I've read about Food Grade DE. I've seen mixed reviews.
I've tried messaging a friend since she has worked with animals in the past and she only recommends getting the Seresto Collars from a vet and NOT going forth with any natural remedies.
It's all so conflicting and making my head spin!!!!
