Found a flea!
Or what i think was a flea, a bigger one then a little one, above her tail while I was brushing her with the fur buster. Soo, 2 or so weeks ago I gave her Adam’s flea meds, and shes way less itchy, but still itchy none-the-less. Mix of biting a spot, and licking a spot. Should I give her her second dose early incase the first didn’t get it all? The blackness is still there, and looks quite odd when it gets wet, it looks spotted, it’s so odd and hard to describe. I notice the black in other places on her underbelly now too. She’s only three, so i can’t believe that it’s what happens when they age, since shes younger yet. So confusing. Vet visit will be 52 for exam and office visit, and extra for any tests, meds, etc.. so we’re not going that route!
Also, found out what was wrong with my car. I took it in, needs a right front bearing, left drive axle, outer front tie rods, and completely new brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, etc). So. I’m trying to find the cheapest way possible, i can buy a bearing online for 30 bucks plus shipping, or instor for 30, but then i need to find someone to be able to press it into whatever ithas to be pressed into. ha ha. Someone told me carquest here can press it for me for 35 bucks or so depending on how much time it takes, but then i have to figure out how to get it and whatever it needs to be pressed into, out of behind my tire, etc… blah so much work. But when it needs to be done, and you are broke as heck.. Still 60 bucks is 60 bucks. I’m going to try to find someone to press it for free, hopefully & put it in/take out for me. Good luck, i know. So after that’s done, I have to think about what i need to do, he said the drive axle is kind of just going to be a sound for now, and it’s not dangerous because my car will just stop moving, nothing will break off or anything. & tie rods i have no idea. but the brakes he estimated at 677 $$….. yeah right.. i should have went to school for a mechanic. I just should have. lol

have you tried a flea shampoo?? i’d go that route before i double dosed on the chemical killer. black spots…geesh, could be alot of things, but when you’re able, i’d sure suggest you have a vet give you a diagnosis…

OH bummer about the car situation. I’m sorry.
Yeah, I agree with etgayle, shampoo and flea combs are you best bet right now. Heck if anything it’s a bonding experience. Save your money, the chemicals are dangerous. Try that before you head to the vet’s office.
Good luck! Keep us posted.

Haven’t done a flea shampoo yet. I have a 3 mth supply of flea meds, can’t afford the shampoo and i heard it doesn’t work? She’s still kind of itchy, some days worse than others, seemed like for a while she wasnt itchy at all and yesterday she was constantly itching, and today isn’t terrible. When she itches, it’s either itching, biting or licking a spot.
