Let me preface this with saying I despise fleas and would not wish them against any dog, cat, or human, no matter how despicable they are.
This all starts on the fourth of July this year, where my family went uptown to see firework. Some guy shows up giving away kittens for free. Somehow my family is talked into getting this little guy, who while cute, has fleas. No big deal, we get home, give him a bath, all is fine right?
No. No it is not.
Some weeks later, our two dogs and older cat are itching. They got fleas too. Seems that the little cat had not been scrubbed down sufficiently, or fleas had stuck to the clothes my sisters were wearing.
Now we've got fleas months later. They are killing one of my dogs by causing her to irritate her skin by itching and biting so bad it turns a deep red. Her skin is usually gray. Now I'm noticing similar symptoms on our bigger dog, and I'm sure if I shaved those cats clean they'd look the same way. They've gotten into my bed and likely many others. We've used sprays, multiple baths and washings of sheets, and even bug bombs. AND THESE PERSISTENT BUGGERS WILL NOT GO. I suppose it could be 100 times worse and we have bedbugs instead, another thing I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Seriously though, I'm sick and tired of these fleas. I'm probably just going to figure out a way to pressure wash my mattress or something. I'm really pissed at these things right now.
