Ok K9 Advantix. Got it. The fleas are gone completely as I mentioned. Just the skin itch but that is much less. Wait a few more days. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, Peggy & The Girls wrote: > > Your quite welcome. Advantage only kills fleas and not ticks and I have > heard of people saying i

Liza has no more fleas. Her bedding is completely clean and I did treat the house too. She is on a different spot on treatment. It was just the itching and I guess that takes awhile to go away. It is much less now and looks like it will stop. Thanks for the input. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups

Your quite welcome. Advantage only kills fleas and not ticks and I have heard of people saying it wasn't that great for fleas either. The K9Advantix not only kills both, both but it also wards off fleas from going on a dog. Peggy & The Girls ---Original Message--- From: margie_

I'm so sorry about your Taco. Does the vet know what is causing it? My choco lab had Degenerative Myelopathy a slow degeneration of the spinal cord. I've never heard of it though in Chis. Probably something else. If you ever need a doggie wheel chair though here is a link for a good one. My dog

If  they are allergic to flea bites they moght need Prednisone or even a little Benadryl depending how severe the reaction is. Fleas only feed on the animal they nest and breed elsewhere like beds, blankets, pillows, rugs, chairs, and carpets so the environment also needs treating Mary Overton

Thanks Peggy. That makes sense. That explains why she could be itching from old flea bites. The itching is getting less often now. Maybe just give it some time. I haven't sprayed her with Vets Best Flea and Tick either for a number of days since she's on the Zodiac. The itching is definitely d
