Obviously the fleas are affecting him. He scratches because they bite. He could also be allergic to them. He needs to be treated for his flea infestation with a flea shampoo or some type of flea killer. It's best to get the flea treatments that kill the flea eggs too so that they don't hatch. You also need to treat the area that he lives in whether it be your home, his dog house, etc. You need to do this as soon as possible because the dog is suffering from the fleas. He can also become ill if not cared for.

Absolutely not! Bleach is a toxin and if your cat actually drinks her water then she can die, or get very very sick.

Even if the cat doesn't drink the water, bleach is extremely toxic, and can cause serious and very painful illness, even death. Use ONLY products made for cats to remove fleas.

Kangaroos do not have fleas unless they have been in contact with domestic pets.

Kangaroo rats of North America, which are not remotely related to kangaroos, are more likely to have fleas.

Yes, definitely. Fleas can infest almost any mammal. For example, I took my cat outside for a stroll, and a few days later I was itching like crazy. So was she.

If you think you have fleas from your cat, I suggest flea bombing the house, flea shampooing your cat, and yourself.

Go to local walmart and get bug bombs-cans of a premixed insecticide that dispenses in the form of a fog. You need to read the instructions and buy quantity needed as per the instructions and use accordingly. If Walmart doesn't have them try hardware stores - farmers cooperative-feed and seed stores, ect. --May have to fumigate more than once to completely solve the pesky little problem because of new hatchings.

There's no residual with the bombs, it's best to have done professionally. Pet(s) & yard(s) should be done at the same time. Frequent vacuming necessary after treatment to stimulate new fleas to emerge. Discard contents of bag outside in sealed container. Focus on pet resting areas. Fleas can continue to emerge for a couple weeks after a treatment. With the bombs it would take far too many applications & very difficult to get consentration needed for an effective kill. The larvae are deep at the base of your carpet fibers & penetration is key. Determine pest is actually fleas & not misidentification. Set out glueboards for a few days & see if you pick up any. Static, allergies, etc. sometimes mistakenly attributed to fleas.

I recently removed my carpet because of flea infestation. I coverd the entire floor with seven dust it been down for six days the AC been on 67 and I still have infestation fleas. What is the next step Burn the house down?

from the earth!

The once a month flea preventative topicals are great at keeping fleas and ticks off. There are such products as Frontline, Advantix or Advantage. Just put them on topically once a month and no more fleas or ticks.

no cats have different hair type and can be allergic to what is in the shampoo

The COMMON FLEA doesn't eat- it gets all the nutrients it needs from sucking the blood of humans or animals. SAND FLEAS eat dead skin.(yuck!)
Adult fleas must feed on blood in order to reproduce; however, adults can live for long periods without feeding.

They are for flying insects-not fleas. Zappers should limit to outdoors anyway for sanitation reasons. If you want to keep down fleas in the yard keep it close cropped. For indoors (if present) you need to treat carpets, furniture, etc.

Yes, fleas like hair and fur. So obviously the can suck human blood. Like the common head louse it prefers clean hair or fur.

Well, fleas use to carry the bubonic plauge which killed 1/3 of the population in Europe that won't affect cats/dogs. If your /dogshas had fleas for a while it can become allergic to a flea bite and heavy infestation can cause annemia. but the chances are it will just cause the cat/dog some discomfort!

just like you would with a normal dog with frontline plus, ect.

Apply frontline/other tic medicine on your dog at the appropriate time is usually the best way to do it. Check your dog after going in a field or in tall grass.

It is unadvised to use gasoline on anything to kill off fleas. It is recommended to use blue dawn dish soap or products specifically made for flea removal.

Things that will help to reduce a flea problem in dogs: * Feed your dogs garlic ( about 1 crushed raw clove a day in their food for a medium sized dog) * give them a bed of sand to roll in (sharp or paving sand is a good type to use) but make sure it isn't used as a toilet... * brush them daily * wash them regularly * let them swim regularly * change their bedding regularly. Shake it out to disturb fleas at least daily

it will but it will probably kill your cat too

no. your dog doesn't have fleas...you do!

No. Fleas themselves cannot have fleas, but they can have these things called "mites".

Flea larvae resemble the larvae of many herbivorous beetles. They are long, worm-like or caterpillar-like typically many-legged creatures often with a chitinous exoskeleton in place. They are not usually microscopic but are very, very small and so are best observed under magnification.

She cannot be around other dogs until she has been fully treated. A good way to check the dog is fully treated is to look at their stomach. This is the easiest place to see fleas and flea poop. Hope this was helpful :)

They should not have any. If a hedgehog has fleas, you should try a gentle flea shampoo or treatment on it. You can buy it at a pet store. The ones for puppies, kittens, or small animals are best.

Yes, If you think you have one inside go to the hospital.
