Time for a pop quiz!
Q: Is “flea season” over?
A: Trick question — in Hampton Roads, flea season never ends!
The series of photos below depicts flea dirt (aka flea feces, aka flea poop) removed from an indoor-only cat this past week.
Fleas can transmit Tapeworms and the bacteria that causes Cat Scratch Disease. Large numbers of fleas can cause anemia, especially in puppies and kittens, and weak or sick pets. Additionally, some pets are highly allergic to flea bites, resulting in extreme itching and fur loss.
