Hello. Thanks for your reply. D'd sat on my bedding today. She still has flea dirt. Was that okay? I only changed it on monday.Yesterday mum used grooming wipes and a flea comb. Today I have used a flea comb and dowsed it in water after every few combs,and used a damp piece of tissue. The dirt turned red/brown. She could only tolerate so much before her tail started wagging. I put Bob Martin flea drops on her on Monday but they haven't helped much. There's still quite a bit of flea dirt on her.

I find the flea dirt takes a bit to go away completely. If you are treating the environment and the pet than you are doing the right things. It can take a few months for the life cycle of the flea to end. Keep up the good work and you will start to see progress soon
