Mail order flea killer arrived and did the job.
No fleas seen since.

Unfortunately the boy dog died - went downhill over 2 weeks, finally called a home visit vet to check and put him down last Easter Monday.
A sad moment, but all pet owners know deep down it will happen eventually.
RIP sweet boy.

His sister still carries on, stiff in the joints at 13+ years but we go for a 30 minute walk each day to keep her mobile.

But . . .no fleas since.
