I was always told the "flea dirt" was flea excrement/waste. You can see
those flecks or droppings anywhere the animal has been as they drop off the
body. At any rate, I agree that if someone is seeing them without having to
look very hard, there is an infestation that needs attention ASAP.

Subject: Re: fleas, Frontline and FeLV
I would treat them all if they have been exposed to the dog which is known
to have
fleas. Frontline is a good choice. I would NOT use Revolution in a immune
compromised
cat. I assume by black nits you mean the black flecks you see in/on the
coat, also
sometimes called "flea dirt". It's actually dried BLOOD from the flea
bites. If it's
enough for you to SEE it without digging through the coat, the dog is
indeed INFESTED
BADLY and being EATEN ALIVE by this point.
