Good heavens, don't beat yourself up over getting fleas. Willow began to
look moth eaten and I took her to the Vet. He and his tech found 3 fleas on
her but, she was allergic to them. It took a short time of medication, some
stuff for flea and ticks, which I had been doing anyway and spraying the
carpets. None of mine go out so we figured they got in on shoes, or other
clothing. Not such a big deal if you start working to get rid of them,
which you already have done.

I am so dense sometimes!

Today it finally dawned on me that there are fleas in the house. I bet
Abelard brought them in when I started taking him outside. Poor Baby
Eyes
has torn out so much of her fur that she looks like an oversized rat.

As soon as the realization hit, I went to ebay and got enough FL+ to last
six months from a seller whose feedback indicates that they ship
super-quickly. But I still feel like a heel and an idiot for not
learning
the truth sooner.

In case anyone else is interested in a good deal on FL+ this seller has
plenty left:

If you live where the climate is right, you can easily bring in the
requisite flea on the hem of your pants or on your shoes. The darn eggs
hang out forever until they get a temperature and humidity they like.

Add in that it only take one or two bites to get a sensitive pet really
going. Anybody can get fleas. The trick is in getting rid of them.
