| She can't get outside without someone knowing about it. We live in a second story apartment. UGH! This is so frustrating. She could not have had them that long...
The only thing that I can think of is that someone came over and brought fleas from their home or work or friend's home with them. |

| I know, but I would hope someone would notice and take care of it if they had it and they were to the point they were jumping off on people's pets. =P | |

| Chances are somebody else in the building has a dog or cat with fleas, and it would be fairly easy to spread into your apartment. You need to get her on a good flea remedy, Revolution, Advantage, Frontline, etc. Talk it over with your vet. You will also need to treat the apartment with something that kills both fleas and eggs. | |

| Thanks Labman, that is the plan for Monday...she has to visit the vet for shots tomorrow, so we are doing the flea bath too....I would too afraid to do any treatment on her myself because she is so small, I wouldn't want to to over do it. And we are flea bombing the house, definitely!! | |
