Number One: Treated dogs to prevent fleas last week.
Number Two: Doggles is now itchy.
Jon is itchy due to recent poison ivy rash, its strange this one, either he has residual steroids in his blood or he just didn't get as toxic of a dose. Possible dog involvement. I sprayed lovely chemicals all over all the poison ivy I could find. Bought some expensive treatment suggested by other John. Think it kind of works. Remains to be seen. He also is on more Benadryl.
I resorted to Benadryl for my two hour long sneeze session earlier. Finally, no sneezing.
Bathed both dogs, washed all laundry including dog beds and blankets....dogs are now both itchy. Used flea shampoo. After that one horrible infestation a couple of years ago, I am terrified that I will have another horrible infestation. But, supposedly I was also bathing them in case of poison ivy....arrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flea-combed both cats, found no flea dirt or fleas. But am still terrified of fleas. Found nothing on Emma. Doggles wouldn't stand for the flea comb at all. He thinks this tiny little flea comb is going to turn into a dog eating monster and chomp on him, leaving nothing but a furry corpse. Cats love the flea comb. Guess it itches them just right.
No idea what to do if Vincent gets fleas. Nightmare scenario. Am scared of fleas. Fleas are creepy. Vacuuming your bed before you sleep at night--extra creepy. Get all those eggs off the bed because you are too sleepy and its too time consuming to wash everything before you go to sleep.....yep, I went through all of that.
I hate when dogs are itchy. Makes me paranoid.
Fleas are also expensive. I have absolutely no money to spend on fleas this time. Nada. Budget is full. If this flea treatment doesn't work, there is no way I can buy Frontline at $50 a box for two cats and two dogs. Why does that stuff have to be so expensive? Isn't there a generic yet?
