No photo is attached. Please give us more of a description of what you are seeing with your Bella. Fleas can cause skin problems so I’m glad you bathed her and have treated for fleas. With more information we can provide better treatment advice. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bella.
