Cat and dog came home from kennel with fleas. Can't seem to shake them. Was up all night night before last trying to kill them all. Was not successful. Last night I tried to sleep and worry about it in the morning. Could not sleep with the thought of fleas in my house. Even though I have been up all night for now three or maybe four nights in a row. Who is counting, so confused.
Friday - we drove all night long, got home Saturday Morning at 6 AM, slept until noon.
Saturday - Pets came home around five, slept through the night not knowing we were being attacked by fleas.
Sunday - discovered pets were itchy, checked and found fleas around 9 PM, stayed up until 2 trying to get rid of fleas. Washed pets with special soap, three times each. Used tweezers, used drops, put pets in cages. Washed all blankets, pet bedding, vacuumed every inch of house. Went to bed at 2AM. Lily peed her bed at 4AM. Hasn't done this in 6 months or more. What is up with that? Got her a bath and put her in bed with me. She cried and cried. Got up and made her bed, put her in her bed and went back to sleep. Got up at 9AM, Lily was sleeping on the couch instead of her bed.
Monday - pets appear to be free from fleas. Spend the day rather grumpy. Have headache and put off homework which is due tomorrow. Put Lily to bed and notice that the animials are again itching. Check and discover fleas. Go to bed anyways. UP all night worried about fleas. Get up at 4AM to do homework, blog instead.
I really have no idea what to do here. I really don't know if I can treat the animals with any more chemicals without killing them. I guess I need to bug bomb the house, but then what about all the bugs on the animals? I guess the drops make the bugs on the animals unable to reproduce, so maybe if we bomb the house we can hope the fleas on the animals die and never make any babies? Plus, it is about 100 degrees outside, so I have no idea what to do with myself and the animals when I bomb the house. Plus I hate putting chemicals in my house. But, I guess I hate fleas more. Maybe I will move.
I really hate that kennel.

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose
-
I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Sounds like you need a vacation. Oh wait, you just had one! Sounds like you need another one!! Here's a website I found for you, hopefully it will help: http://www.ehow.com/how_16644_rid-home-fleas.html
Good luck! If all else fails, rename the dog and cat "Itchy" and "Scratchy."
Go to the base vet and have them put on a tick and flea med that they take every month. They will need it for down there. ALso I think you can take them down to the ocean and the salt water will help rid the fleas (Don't quote me on that one). Do bomb the house. Go for a long ride with all the "kids", while the bomb is going off or take the dogs to Pet Smart for a good grooming, they can stay there until 9:30 at night! Good luck!
We use a once a month medicine, which we get from the vet, on our dog. Don't know if it works after they already have fleas. Where were the pets that they came home with fleas? If it was a kennel, I would complain to them and ask them to take care of the problem.
I would complain to the kennel as well, but regular dishsoap kills fleas (if I remember correctly from my beach days). I used to bathe my dog with dishsoap after coming home from the beach and the fleas would just drop right off.
I'm no doctor, but I seem to remember that working if you're at wits end!
omg, if i were you i'd be SO PISSED OFF.
when i was in high school, my step-mom's dog had fleas so bad, everyone in the house had them. including me. on the first day of school. in my hair. it was awesome.
i can't remember what we did to get rid of them, but it was a lot of work. including electral outlet things, something in the carpet, professional grooming for the dogs, all sorts of shit.
When Bonnie had fleas once I had to bug bomb my apartment and I got rid of them for good. The groomer bathed Bonnie in flea shampoo and that took care of her. I use Frontline on her now for fleas and ticks.
Oh that's awful. I HATE fleas. Al lthe advice you have already received is good, so i won't repeat it.
