Removing flees again

Philippines
July 5, 2016 6:29am CST
The one thing I hate when ever there's a new puppy is the fleas, and he had dozens of them in his paws and ears. This afternoon after taking a nap, I decided to try one part of the body at a time. Maybe they should have brought medication that removes flees when he was moved here. But there was no time, I had to make up for what I have and this was it. Though, it took an hour and half, I've took them all out. I know, it wasn't nice for the dog but he had cooperate and just tried to sleep it off He was even more happy afterwards somehow I was playing ball with him.

I don't know what came over me and took an hour and half to remove all of his fleas. I know he was impatient at some point but in the end he became cooperative @Yar_Joey

Oh my goodness, I think there is a better way of removing the fleas. Perhaps you can try to let the dog takes a bath. All the fleas will be drown.

Hello @scheng1 that's because he was already given a bath and remove "some" of the fleas, unfortunately the fleas gets to come back quickly afterwards. Don't worry he wasn't whining much and sleep it off until I was done. He was very happy and even more energetic now.

@Letranknight2015 My goodness, is there something that will prevent the fleas from coming back? It sure sounds terrible to have the fleas keep coming back.

mercy, could'ja not jest given the pup a bathe? 'course i reckon such'd depend'n the age - most flea/tick shampoos aint fer wee pups 'n one needs to read the labels to make certain they're doin' no harm. no doubt that pup's relieved to've those removed. pity the folks who raised him didn't pay more mind to their health.

Hello @crazyhorseladycx they gave him a bath already before he was sent to us, maybe next week I'll give him a bath again. I just don't want to risk him getting sick or ill. oh, yeah he was very happy and more joyful now.

Get him a flea collar and look for other products that help fight fleas. You'll also need to wash everything in the house and spray it down so the fleas stay away.

ticks, fleas, and lice are usually found in our dogs and when my son bathes the dogs, we must move all these parasites first before shampooing them.

I didn't know that, when my female dog was alive I used to bathe even if she had fleas. I didn't realized you have to do it before giving them a bath

I remember there was one powdered solution we used on puppies. It was local brand so I guess not available in your country.

Ask a veterinarian about it; or any pet shop. We are using a treatment which is put at the upper back portion of the dog, and it will spread throughout his body and all the fleas or ticks will die.

I've asked a few pet shops before, but I've decided yesterday to just be practical and use my tweezers instead. But my brother uses that, unfortunately they just got more fleas there than here. @acelawrites

My aunt says she uses dog shampoo that removes fleas on her dogs.
