My chihuahua had puppies 3 weeks ago and now the pups are COVERED in Fleas. I had to wet the one puppy to get the comb through its fur and to get the fleas to die. They are small puppies and I am afraid for them. My chihuahua didn’t have fleas until about a week and half ago and I treated her with what the vet reccomended. The vet is not in the office all weekend for me to call her.
I actually heard dawn is fatal to puppies as are pesticides. Was just looking it up online and saw something called diatomaceous earth that can be used on them and their mom. I will call my vet in the morning to double check. Gave mom a bath tonight and put them all on cedar chips too as cedar kills fleas naturally. I as well noticed I did not have fleas ALL winter long now my dogs all have them and the one cat that escapes. They are making a last ditch effort for warmth.
