Our little 13 yr old poodle has fleas for the first time. He's wearing a flea collar and we've sprayed him with flea spray and given him baths with flea shampoo. I killed 5 of them yesterday evening, got up at 4am and gave him a flea bath. Eight went down the drain, killed 5 more on our bed. I've put flea powder on the carpet and there's still fleas.
We have 2 parakeets and a child in the house, so we have to be careful of all the chemicals. Can anyone help me??? We're also getting ready to leave for vacation and have someone house sit and dog sit.View Thread

I'm guessing no one has lost a beloved pet the way we have. We never had to make a decision about putting our dog down for any reason. I took our little poodle to the groomer and when they called, I'm thinking he was done a little early and to come pick him up. The groomer had left their door open and our dog ran out into traffic and was hit by a truck and killed. I spoke with the vet they took him to and he said the dog didn't have a chance, he was real blunt about it going into all the gorey detail. It was horrible having to listen to him, but worse having to go pick up our dog and being given a box with his body in it.
There's a lesson in this for everyone who takes their pet to a groomer or kennel. Be sure they have 2 doors (I was told this by another groomer) and the doors are both closed at all times. We now have another poodle and are very particular who we hand our dog over to when going in for grooming or to a kennel.View Thread

We've been doing the Dawn trick and depending on which room we put the dish & light we have been lucky and caught fleas. Probably total over a 2 day span was about 50 fleas. We took our dog to the groomer and got a bath & flea dip and a very short haircut. I still found 4 fleas last ight, but he is no longer itching. I vaccuum daily and first vaccuum up flea powder and then do the carpet & furniture. We are washing his bed every couple of days too. He wears a flea collar and we have treated the yard. We are not the only ones with a flea infestation this year. It's a work in progress.View Thread

Thank you. We've never had a pet with fleas and just started buying stuff off the shelf at Wal-Mart. When our poor little guy starts crying in the middle of the nut we really knew he was suffering. Guess we're in for a long haul till they are gone.
Thanks again!View Thread

Does anyone have parakeets? We have 2 that are a year old and molt constantly. I have to vacuum every day due to all the feathers flying out of the cage. I've bought molting food, but nothing seems to help. I've read a few books, but there have been no chapters about a lot of molting. can anyone help me?
Thanks,
