fleas are the worst, when we first got flip she came covered in fleas, iv never in my life seen so many on one cat, and i think they liked to bite me more than the liked the cats, ancles and wrists were the worst :rant: oh never had any bites just me, i must just taste better :- "

anyway only thing for it is to get fid of them from your animal and you house and they will leave you to.

think it took a couple of days before i stopped getting bitten after using the drops.

i really do feel for you keith, my oh said i was over reacting when i couldnt sleep for itchin :rant: unless you have been bitten by these little pirannas theres no way you can understand the torture they put you through :rant:

good luck getting rid of them :luck: :luck:

It's from all that rabbitin'!

Every time one of mine catches a toothy pal we get straight into the de-fleaing action stations before they get out of the car.

You take a looksee at the next bunnifer's ears and they'll be crawling black :x

No, the vet won't put you down Keith but he'll cover you in lemon scented dust!!! :lol:

fleas spread the mixi keith so there is your culprit, but what i would use is the tick and flea drops from k9 chemist i will find the link for you and get a household spray from say pets at home , they give months of protection , do each room in a sweeping motion , vac the carpets first , pop a flea collar in the vac bag too , then go over the room in a sweeping motion , making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies , even do the curtains , any soft furnishings and edges near skirting boards etc , do evry room this way , wash all dogs bedding at 60 degs then when dry also treat with spray but allow to dry before allowing dogs back on

add a little garlic to dogs feed as smell wiill repel the fleas although not prevent

with 14 here all out in fields daily and also catching bunnies i pride myself we dont get them except the very odd little blighter but we soon murder him!!! :thumbsup:

I've had a problem with this for months thanks to Claire "playing" with hedgehogs in the garden. :angry: I thought I'd got rid of them doing what Tanya said but I caught one on Niamh yesterday. Nowhere for it to hide on her! I've been washing the dog beds in 40 degrees so i reckon that's where I've been going wrong! Thanks for the tip Tanya and I could do with that link too please. :thumbsup:
