    Go to the Vet and get a diffenent prescription flea treatment.

    Frontline or Frontline Plus? Frontline itself can cause a dog's skin to become irritated. Are you sure that the dog is "miserable" because of fleas or could it be because of skin irritation?

    If the dog is on Frontline and you are using an over the counter flea/tick shampoo you could very well be overdosing her with chemicals.

    Again - ask your Vet.

    Not a fan of frontline OR over the counter flea and tick shampoos. I would go back to the vet and ask for a different prescription like Judy suggested. Revolution or Advantage are great products. You may have to treat your house. Especially if you have carpets.

    You can try bathing him in Dawn dish soap and that should smother any adult fleas.
