A good flea treatment upon prescription is what you need. Nothing works best than that. Please take Mila to your veterinarian to have it prescribed. Your vet will confirm the presence of fleas and rule out any possible flea allergy dermatitis as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
