Mr Cory suffering with a flea

Oh woe, somehow indoor pet and man about flat Mr Cory has fleas, or at any rate the vet says she can see 'flea debris'. He is not scratching. He is moulting like a brute, tho'.

I have deflead him, but how do I deal with the flat? Do I need to do anything? I have seen nowt except tiny black specks on the bedlinen, but I want to do a proper job. Despite having a completely knackered thyroid which makes me exhausted, so easy tips pls all, if you have any.

I'm also hypo great huh?
I would get some acclaim spray, expensive but brilliant, it only needs doing once per year, cheaper online than from the vets

That sounds great - do I need to do anything else?

Just Hoover really, any that hatch will bite mr cory & get poisoned.

I'd start monthly flea treatments because it just saves you all this trouble. The vet can give you a prescription for under £10 so ou can buy it online.

Check the online prices against the vets. Currently we have several deals on flea products and are cheaper than the Internet pharmacies.

Thanks a million all! Mr Cory has not scratched at all, and neither have I (I catch fleas as well) so we are off to the vets tomorrow.
