Poor Doggie 🐾🐶

Before we took our trip, I gave Rufio a bath and put some flea killer on him. (Gotta be gorgeous) Just last night I found he was infested again. It’s been barely two weeks! I tried to reach my friend who happens to be a vet, but no go. So Max suggested Petco. One young man was very knowledgeable and helpful. We gave Rufio a Capstar and when we got home he had another bath and some more topical medication. The young man also suggested putting baby powder around the are he sleeps. We don’t have baby powder, so Max suggested Gold Bond. Apparently distant relatives used to show Huskies and used it. An Internet search turned up all kinds of people saying that they use it on their doggos for many things. So I sprinkled it on to are only carpeted area and Rufio went really NUTS. RUNNING around scratching the carpet. Occasionally whimpering. Figures my dog would be one who doesn’t tolerate the stuff. After I put him on my bed, he settled down, and I vacuumed the whole are over and over. All good until 4:00 a.m. when he decided to go nuts again. So I took him out to pee, rinsed him ( I didn’t think he actually got any on him) and woke my husband up by vacuuming viciously again. At four a.m.

He is much better today, but I feel terrible and an idiot.

Don’t feel like an idiot! How were you to know that he wouldn’t like the stuff? Fingers crossed his infestation clears up quickly x

Thank you, you are right. I do tend to get over worked up about some things. And then there are things that other people take deadly serious that I don’t give a second thought to. Max and I were in the car running about this morning and Rufio was sitting on my lap, so I checked him over, and found a few fleas. Time to declare WAR!!
