Fleas
It always seems that when things tend to go bad, they go bad
in all sorts of ways at the same time.
So it is in life and so it is currently with me and my life.
After returning from Black Mountain, NC, I had to replace
the well pump so I could have water. It
was a pain in the butt and to my savings account but not an actual pain.
Molly has fleas. While that may not seem bad to some, if you
have not had fleas in your house, you do not know what a pain that can be. I have an upward climb ahead of me to get rid of the little suckers.
I had seen a flea or two on her in the last several months. I immediately went out to get Frontline Plus,
which has always taken care of the issue in short order, but after three
courses of the medicine, she actually had more than just a couple of the itchy
critters. I called my vet only to find out
that they have been noting that this is happening more frequently, so I headed
over to their office this morning to get a new medicine called Vectra 3D. I have also ordered an insect spray (Talstar P) that I will be using
inside and outside the house to really get rid of them. The good thing about this stuff is that it
should also take care of a great many other insects… including Stink Bugs! It should arrive from Georgia next week. I will let you know how it works.
The thing that you have to remember with me…. I have TWO
houses to de-flea. Bummer! But I have become a Flea Fighter so I can get
rid of them ASAP.
I believe that the Vectra 3D is already working. Molly is curled up in my lap but has not
shaken her head or ears for over an hour.
She was doing that frequently the last couple of days which was one of
the clues that she had more than the occasional flea. Fingers crossed that it will be an easier fix
than I had thought last night!
