My mom had chickens in her backyard for the past year, but just gave them to a friend last week. Yesterday I was out of town and my parents took in my dogs. Now they are covered in the tiny little stick-tight fleas that the chickens used to get.
I gave the dogs each a Capstar flea pill, but the fleas are still attached. I read online to dab them with rubbing alcohol which had no visible effect. My mother used to use a chemical powder on the chickens, but I'm concerned about using something like that on the dogs who like to lick themselves.
What do I need to do to safely get rid of these bugs? Or could the be dead from the Capstar, but just haven't fallen off?
Any input would be appreciated!
