lol charlee! Thanks hun, will book her in tomorrow if flea powder doesnt work. Really worried about her now. I been rubbing sudocrem on her sores. Hope it isnt too abrasive but its mild enough for babies so I hope its mild enough for the girly!

if you see the nurse at ours they don't charge for fleaa and wormer, (althou I normally just pop in as we have the same every 6 months, the cost depends on the weight of the dog ie/ our staff is £10 for both the GSD is £20 for both.)

ours have had front line, strong hold and just had a new one on the market for mites as well. apparently you're ment to change the stuff every few treatments.

our GSD had them once (I found literally one flea) but everything was boiled and steam cleaned.

(also find flea shampoo helps as well)

good luck!

i would be careful putting anything on to a sore area ,it could get infected,will end up costing even more at vets.
