General I found a FLEA!!!!!!!

[Dee_E]

Last night I found a flea in the bathroom. This morning I did damage control. Inspected the cats, who were treated last week, nothing. Checked Poppy, nothing. How can I prevent fleas or treat fleas on Poppy?

Thanks

I have seen "Flea and Tick spray for small animals" for sale. I don't know how big of a market it is to sell flea antidote for small furry animals like guinea pigs, but there are products out there. And a vet should be able to give you something for him too.

Please don't use flea spray on your pig. You can treat with advantage or revolution.

Advantage or Revolution -- no flea sprays. And you need the old Advantage, not Advantage II.

Sorry guys, I've only seen it once and having never used it myself I didn't know that it was a no-no! :guilty:

I wouldn't treat him unless you actually see fleas on him.
