I do remember an occasional flea, but never like what you can get today. I don't think I ever remember hearing about HW during those years. I wonder why do mosquitos carry it now and not then? ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥ -----Original Message----- From: dasha <[email protected]> To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Nov 17, 2010 5:31 pm Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] OK, lets talk Raw Feeding again.. None were ever on HW and Flea Spot stuff either. Some never even had Boosters or a Rabies shots either =============================== Then you have been extremely lucky that you live in a place where there are no fleas or heartworms or rabies. There is much more knowledge out there now. Sheila
