Any way, yesterday I found the Apple Cider Vinegar method for fleas and applied it by dripping 1/2 organic apple cider vinegar and half water from a cotton ball onto the scruff of his neck and then as close to his tail as I could without touching the wounds he had caused (the whole area around his bum and up and down his tail has scabs on it.
There was NO CHEWING or SCRATCHING last night. No new wounds this morning. Thank God. I am going to keep applying the Apple Cider Vinegar to both areas morning and night even though my dogs for sure don't like it!
To anyone trying this... please be very careful not to let the ACV solution touch a raw or red area on your furry friend. But it is very effective. I am guess fleas just don't like the smell of it and stay off them, right? Is that why it helps?

I did not give them their monthly flea medication liquid on the back of their necks because I wanted to see if this natural method would work okay. They are biting and scratching much less since I started the ACV treatment two weeks ago.
It's easy to forget to apply the ACV in the morning, so I keep my cotton balls out on the kitchen counter so I don't forget.

With all this being said, & I've done, & tried. I'm going back to ONLY APPLE CIDER VINEGAR & HALF WATER. Thanks so much for this website. Best of Luck to All of You with your pet children(s), & God Bless All
You might have a flea infestation in your house. You might try a lamp flea trap - inexpensive, easy to use and very effective. Set the trap out at night and take a peek in the morning for fleas - keep trapping until you no longer see them. For best results use a trap for each room.

You have a min-pin - try filling your bath tub with warm water and then BEFORE you put your dog in the bath, get a soapy wash cloth to work the shampoo/dish soap into her coat/skin by first starting at her nose and working over her muzzle, face and around the ears. Once you have her entire head and neck below the ears lathered up down to the skin, THEN put her in the tub and wash her entire body and let her soak if you can for 10 minutes. Rinse well taking care around her eyes - you can use a wet wash cloth with clear water to 'rinse' her face in the same way you worked the soap in. Once all the soap is rinsed off, use a solution of vinegar and water - 1 part of vinegar [white is OK to use] to 10 parts of water. Drain the tub, use your hands to work any excess water off of her, and then rinse her in the vinegar solution - use a wash cloth to work it around her face and ears. The vinegar will help restore the PH of her skin, as the dish soap is super harsh. This should get rid of the fleas on Momma. Your next step is to get rid of the fleas in the environment, so before putting Momma back in her nesting area, make sure you have laundered all the bedding and thoroughly vacuumed the area to remove any fleas hiding in the environment. I would also recommend you deploy several lamp flea traps to further eliminate fleas in the environment.
