• forpaws Posted : 5/17/2006 8:55:47 AM In my opinion, yes. If you have one flea you can garantee he has more even if you cannot see them. And besides, if he ingests any of these nasty critters it can cause intestinal parasites like hookworms....[:'(]   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Patt Posted : 5/18/2006 1:40:47 AM I would definitely start flea prevention program, it can also cause tape worms if the flea is injested.   If you want to go with something less toxic try Capstar.    If will give you results in 30 mins and no residue. Purchase from your vet.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
