dog being restless at night uncomfortable
Estee (5yo female neutered Maltese) was normal yesterday. She got up late last night to poop (normal) and then for the rest of the night, and this morning, she has been unable to get comfortable. She lays down and then sharply sits up. She looks at her back end, and her tail moves to the side, and she stretches her back and back legs continuously. She will only lay down for moments at a time, and cannot settle down at all. She wants up and down off of the bed, but WILL NOT jump off the bed now. She has been trying to sleep sitting up. She does have a knee cap that pops out, and does quite frequently jump off the bed, as she did last night, but this has never happened before. I can't tell what is bothering her exactly, and I don't want to make the Vet come in on a sunday, if it's not a problem. |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
