Peggy, I too wondered how Gigi was doing. Since you hadn't mentioned the problem lately, I hoped that meant that she was doing better. Glad to hear that she is. To treat for fleas, I no longer use any of the ones that come in a tube and are put between the dog's shoulders, because Emiliano had a reaction. So, now he takes flea and heart worm prevention meds in a pill form and he takes them well. If you are interested in a natural treatment, I once (when I had a flea infestation and a larger dog) used live nematodes and spread them all over my back yard (they eat the fleas). Then I bought Diatomaceous Earth (powdered) which I was told to dust around the dog bed and the base boards in the den (room where the dog was allowed). Then I put some of the powder in a sock, tied a knot at the top of the sock and used the bottom part as a powder puff to dust the dog with. I treated the bed and dog daily until I no longer saw fleas on the dog. It worked. Gloria
