Poor Winnie! We have to get rid of these pesky pests once and for all. I would recommend putting Winnie on either Advantage or Revolutionti rid he lice and fleas. Make sure to continue to give the medicaiton every 2 weeks until the lice/fleas are gone. Here is a website link that also goes through more tips on how to tell if your pet is infected with lice and more information if needed. Best of luck! http://www.vet.bc.ca/lice.pml
