Our beloved Sambo was allergic to fleas too, that is why he always wore clothes, it kept him from getting at his skin so bad, I also gave Sambo Benadryl to help with the itching. I used Advantage on him on a regular basis too, and it helped a lot with his fleas, but if one flea got on him it almost drove him nuts.Originally Posted by LuckyGirl

I couldn't believe that fleas could cause scabbed type wounds on her, that she would lick & bite open, and then scab up again....and a rash type area where her fur was getting thinner around her hiney....but the vet said that she has an allergy to fleas (the way some humans are allergic to bees) and it caused her to have this serious allergic reaction, losing some fur, and the cracked/open type wounds.....the poor little pumpkin, the whole time being eaten alive by fleas, and then suffering with the itchy miserable pain of an allergic reaction.....
