I have never treated Stephen for fleas since she is an indoor cat, and I do not believe in giving her meds she does not need.
We got a puppy a month ago, and she just received her monthly dose of Revolution last Monday (6/14).
Well, last night, I found a flea on my shirt after having the puppy take a nap on my lap. We've been pretty vigalent about checking the puppy over since we got her. She hasn't been scratching, though (except for her collar area which she always does). Stephen hasn't scratched whatsoever.
Couple of questions...
1. Is it possible for the puppy to carry a flea in and it to jump to me instead because the puppy is treated?
2. Should I treat Stephen regularly for fleas now that we have a puppy -- especially if it's possible for the puppy to bring them and pass them on?
3. Is it possible this was an isolated incident and we shouldn't worry?
4. What do we do as far as the house goes?
Sorry for all of the questions...
