So I was petting Milo and felt something small and hard in his fur. Pulled it out and it was a little black speck that was hard. And then I found a another one on his head. So then I started examining his fur near his head/face and I saw a little black thing crawling..
Last time we put flea treatment on him, he started foaming at the mouth cause somehow he managed to get it in there. So I haven't put it on him for a while cause that was real scary. But now obviously I'm going to immediately.
My question is, now that he has fleas is it possible that he has tapeworms? I know fleas carry tapeworm eggs. Does every flea carry tapeworm eggs? Or is it just some of them?
Also, when I put the medicine on him will this take care of the problem? I don't think he has that many, but I really don't know. Never have I dealt with a flea issue before so I don't really know much about what I need to do.
Thanks for your help in advance!
