I can give you a flea treatment program for Elsa. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. I'd also have her checked out by a vet. If she has a lot of fleas, she could be anemic from the blood loss, leading to her being weak after a bath. Take her into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
