Treating for fleas is not just restricted to the host, because fleas can reproduce and nest in the environment and continually cause an issue. Below is a link to a short article that explains treating the dog and environment for fleas: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas/ If the flea problem is not getting better, or is getting worse in the next two weeks, then it's best to have your dog evaluated by a vet, because additional treatment may be needed. I hope that helps and your dog gets better soon.
