    My taffy, who is now l2 years old, a Walker Hound, I rescued at 5 weeks old and from the looks of her she was covered in fleas. I warmed up my sink and put her in and the water turned red from the flea residue. I had to get them off her before giving her a new bed, at the time. Bath your pup for now, without getting her ears or eyes wet and get all that ugly stuff off her. Then, get her to a vet.

    Baby shampoo is fine. That is what I used at the time.

    Make sure you keep her warm afterward. Take a towel and put in the dryer and wrap her in that. If that one gets damp change for a dry one... you want to make sure she stays toasty warm. Also walmart sells fine toothed flea combs for 2 bucks, in the cat section.

    You will also serve your puppy well if you read up on parvo, worms and other diseases to protect her from during her early puppy hood.

    Make sure that after you treat your dog that you also clean or discard anything they came in contact with or else the fleas will remain in your house.
