This would not happen often, but may happen if they are being treated for something such as demodectic mange with the high-dose ivermectin.

Also, rather than putting chemicals on your lawn, you may want to try resolving the issue with nematodes. Check this link for more info http://www.pesticide.org/fleas.html |
Thanks for the info.
I saw the thing about Ivermectin but didn't think it would be an issue. Walnut does take heartguard but it was a couple weeks ago when she got her last dose anyway and it's just a normal dose for her weight.
It does kind of bother me to try something so new with little info, but she's SO miserable. I just can't get these fleas off of her completely and even just a few fleas makes her get horrible rashes and chew on herself since she's allergic.
As far as the nematodes I'll have to try those. I'm all for that kind of option rather than chemicals. It's why I don't kill the spiders around my house, I want them to eat pests, lol.
