Just gave this same link to the guy with the cough. Read this site for diatomaceous earth.

You can put this stuff in with his food and rub into the fur but take great care no to get it near eyes, either his or yours as it will dry them out and cause probs. It's dreadful when a pet is tormented and you can't help so I hope this works quickly.

Hi! Amanda , Hi! Nickey, Diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled thoroughly around the edges of your rooms for flea control. It kills them because it has very sharp edges and penetrates the fleas exoskeleton when they move. Takes a while though. Use pharmaceutical grade rather than swimming pool grade. Good luck, Robert Lovemyamber
