Re: fleas, Frontline and FeLV

HI Phaewryn,

My mom did have to do some digging around in her fur to find the flea  
dirt. Mattie is a shih tzu with long, long hair. My dad checked  
Mattie over and never found fleas. Very strange. I read just  
yesterday that if we had gotten a sample of the flea dirt, we could  
have put it on a damp paper towel to see if it exhibited a red halo  
when wet. I think Mattie has been all brushed off, though, so we  
can't perform that particular check.

I'm hoping to find gentler options for keeping Ember flea-free in the  
future.
