Hi Rachael,

I would rewash the hammocks in just water. This may not be the problem.

Check their skin. Does it look dry? I would give a bit of canola
oil each day. About a quarter to half teaspoon. Too much will cause the runs.
This should help the problem in about a week or so.

I would also get a flea comb and comb them. Fleas can come in on pant legs.
If you find "dirt", then I bathe Bianca in [the shampoo your vet recommends], starting
with the head and ears as the fleas will run toward the head. It
seems tso kill the fleas well and is nicer to the skin and fur, than other
soaps. I do condition afterwards. Rinse WELLLL!!!

Best of luck.

kathy and Bianca.
