I'm beating myself up right now. Shadow has fleas.
She was at the vet a month ago for her skin irritation and even after the visit she didn't improve as much as she should have. The visit didn't go well. The vet tech scruffed shadow, which I didn't like, and then the vet took her out of my sight, which I also didn't like...then she gets fleas. I didn't want to put a topical flea medicine on her because I was afraid it might have been part of the skin irritation, not knowing all of the allergies she may have, so I stupidly skipped a month.
I'm taking her to another vet next week and have started the assault on the fleas with home treatments and frontline.
I just feel awful.I don't feel like I am doing the best for her right now, and I should have seen the signs sooner.
