Speedy has been hell bent on investigating our pressure washer. It's just an old washer that doesn't even work. Honestly we need to junk it. Well I now know why! I couldn't find him one night around 12-ish and lil bit came running all nervous.
He had caught ANOTHER opossum!!! It was mid-sized and not moving. I managed to drag him away and throw him inside before going back with a flashlight.
When I got semi-close, I saw it was breathing but before I could get closer I heard a bunch of yelling inside. I went a running and discovered my Speedy spazing out and rubbing his face all over the sofa & carpet and sneezing. He was full of drool but otherwise seemed fine.
I went check the tiny invader again. I poked it with a stick, it hissed and looked at me. That's when I saw them. This creature was INFESTED with fleas!!!! I could see them running all across its face.
I sprinted back inside to see Speedy yet again rubbing at his face. I yelled FLEAS!!!!
Mind you the dogs and cat are treated and so is the yard but again opossum was INFESTED!
I grabbed his face and saw one run under his eye.
He got a midnight bath. I let the flea shampoo sit on him. They were fleeing in the bubbles. 15 fleas (that I counted) came off of him!!!
After him, lil bit got bathed because...well she was with him. I counted 8 on her *screaming*.
Hubs was midnight vacuuming...everything.
The next day they were itching. I used a flea comb and pulled numerous fleas off of BOTH OF THEM.
More baths!!!!!!!!!
We treated the yard AGAIN. And I "flea bombed" the house.
They must have had 3 baths each and each time MORE FLEAS.
It took a good week for no more fleas to show on the pups and me not to feel like things were crawling on me all the time.
