Hey, I have another question .... this time about ferret fleas :-( Apparently, Sasha & Snowy have picked up some fleas somewhere and since I've never had to combat this problem with any pets I've had, I'm not sure where to begin. I thought that it might have come from when we moved into our new home in June (was a cat there prior to me, over a year ago) but b/c I have such 'juicy' blood, I'm POSITIVE I would have been scratching as well so I doubt they are in the carpet .... I'm assuming they are fleas (brown, tear-shaped bugs that dash very quickly when detected and are leaving 'dirt-looking' residue in the kiddos' fur)! I've picked like 3-4 off of them off when I bathe them but apparently I'm not getting all of them! Of course I've washed all of their bedding and related items, to no avail, and have tried 'dipping' them/spraying them with their Marshall Farms brand flea spray but a few of these bugs just keep coming back! ARGH!!! I just hate seeing my precious little kiddos with "bite marks" on them - like they are getting eating alive! So, what is a safe method of eliminating these pesky critters (vs. going to the vet)??? I'm itching (no pun intended) to know!!! THANKS SO MUCH :-) Jennifer, Sasha & Snowy [Posted in FML issue 4591]
