flea problem

[michael]

i have a female that just had pups and the pups have fleas on them what can i use to get rid of the fleas on the without hurting them or the mother have tried flea collars and red cedar shaving and nothing works and its to cold to bath them.

[twist]

get flea powder and lightly dust them and their bedding area. should help.

don't use anything the pups can ingest because it will kill them.

Go buy Frontline. It WILL kill the fleas and it IS SAFE for pregnant and nursing dogs... Don't be cheap and use a bunch of products that don't work and might kill the pups.

Put Frontline on MOM and by tomorrow there will be no fleas on any of them.

[twist]

You dust them lightly like I said and you will be fine have done for years and never killed a pup yet. later, Andy

There is also a product called ecto-foam that works on pups. It comes in a can that looks like a hair moose can. I have gotten it from my vet just for use on small puppies. You just put a little on your hand and rub it on them, the fleas die as your rubbing in the foam.

Try some of my Diatomaceous Earth. You dust the hounds, the bedding, the houses, the dog boxes, and the grounds with it. It's safe to ingest, because you can worm with it too. It's even safe if you need to dust a carpet in the house and your babies were to ingest it. It's Food Grade. You can mix it with sand and sread it around the houses or just dust it. You can mix it with water and spray it where you want it. It's just a great, natural product. E-mail me, PM me, or just check out my website, WWW.MEARICLE.COM, if you have any more questions.

HTH,
