Complicated situation, but to cut a long story short our puppy has been with a friend for two weeks.
We collected him today and I noticed he had some scabs on his body. Rang friend who said he might have picked up a flea from her cat.
I've never had a pet with fleas before, so googled, did the 'brush' test and to me it looks like fleas. We've bathed him in shampoo and water, 50/50 as advised by the net.
We've put all the animals bedding outside - pup is now on a clean fleece blanket and older dog on clean towels.
Having never been in this situation before I wanted to know firstly, other than take him to the vet, what we more we can do to help him?
Secondly, having had only today with him in the house is it likely that the fleas will have got upstairs on our clothes and get into our carpet and beds (downstairs is tiled)? He did come into the lounge for about 5 minutes, then the cat came in for a bit then went upstairs onto our bed. I've got visions of waking up to a completely flea infested household tomorrow morning!
