PUPPY-FLEAS!!

[Sdbullie]

hi guys,


I have a three week old litter and I just found a FLEA on one of my pups!! (how did this happen!?!?) I've searched the other pups and couldn't find anything....I try to keep mommy as clean as possible, what can I do!?

At three weeks old I really don't know what is safe to use ... so I'm going to tag [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] ....

I used Dawn dish Detergent on a 4 week old kitten...don't know about a pup..but it was awesome!

You need to bath the pups using dish soap,rinse thoroughly and go through them with a flea comb,wash all bedding and treat mum with whatever you use ,hopefully it's just a random flea that has got in from the grass,clothing as I'm sure you have looked after mum very well ,kareb

I'm hoping it was just a random flea that mom brought in. [MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2242]karenben[/MENTION] gave some good advice. I would use the Dawn dish soap on the mom and just watch the pups for a few days to make sure they don't have anymore. If you do see more then you can bath the pups in it but don't make it too strong.
