She is a 5 year old, black/white, Beagle/Terrier mix. She weighs roughly 30 to 35 pounds. She's a house dog, and only goes outside to defecate and urinate, and to go for a short walks --- she doesn't really like being outside much. Well, she has a serious flea problem. She's been biting herself (and is even bald in two spots), and sometimes she bleeds. I don't know what to do, because topical antibiotics might irritate her bald spots. I feel so bad because I never really noticed that it was problem until I woke up one night and heard a strange sound, and she was biting herself! I give her baths and the fleas come off, but then they're back again. I made her an appointment for the vet on Saturday, but are there any other alternatives because she doesn't like riding in cars or veterinarians. I know the fleas are driving my poor Oreo crazy, so if you guys have any suggestions let me know!
