Thanks for the idea/advice.

I'm going to check into that about birds (chickens) and fleas, sense we have so many. Also yes I do have a lot of feral around here, so that could add to it some.

We do, do the house often, it just part of regular house keeping around here. You have to when you have pets. We also have treated the yard, but we can't treat with any chemical's, because of the ducks etc that run around our yard, so we just 7-dust, it's the best we can do.

So, no shaving Odie.........wont he be happy about that, even thought he is still getting a trim.

I really personally think that fleas can get used to a certain treatment
I always wondered about that, I even asked the Vet once, but never did get a answer.

But once it stops raining around here, Odie is going to get a bath, AGAIN, and trimed. Odie have to gets baths outside, his hair clogs the drains, plus he hates inside. Then I think I'll change flea control and see it that helps, just by changing. I'm also going to add some garlic to their food in hope that helps also.

If not, Odie wont be bald..........but I will from pulling my hair out!!!
