i have a friend in canada. we were talking last night and she told me her 2 dogs (shitsu's) age 3 and 5 both had fleas. she has had them to vets and been given tablets and drops. now there skin is pink and sore and the fleas are still there. she has changed there bedding and got rid of the rug they slept on. told her i would ask if anyone could help.

Hi well i dont agree with dogs having pills to kill fleas she needs to stop them wash the dogs in an antibacterial shampoo and give the dogs garlic every day.

thats exactly what i told her corso !. also i thought if there skin is pink and sore looking it could be a reaction to the spray/drops and to stop using them.

Hi Corso girl,
Don't you mean an insecticidal shampoo, not an antibacterial one?
:)

Don't forget that fleas lay their eggs in soft furnishings; just spraying the dog will not be enough, the carper, curtains, bedding, sofas etc require spraying. A good spray will keep the house larva free for 6 months.
