Walking in a U shape and in circles to bite her butt is a direct effect of the flea infestation. There are two things you will need to do: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian.and apply monthly 2) get flea powderr, put some in your vacume cleaner bag and vacume your house and furniture and also uncarpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the dog's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas.
