: : It is bigger than a flea, though the body is shaped like a flea. It walks, slowly, but does not jump. I have checked the animals and there is no flea infestation. I can't really say that it bites. I've ruled out bed bugs and termites (wrong color). I usually find them dead in a sink or bathtub, but have seen them alive, crawling on my husband. He is horribly allergic to fleas. Any one have any idea of what this bug is and/or how to get rid of them?
: THE ONES I SEE ON MY CHINESE CRESTED ARE SMALLER THAN A FLEA, REALLY SHINY ROUNDED BACKS, AND DO NOT JUMP..I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE, THEY SOUND LIKE THE ONES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BUT SMALLER...MY VET SAID TO USE FLEA MEDICINE BUT I REALLY WONDER WHAT THEY ARE?? DID YOU EVER FIND OUT>? KIND REGARDS, CASSANDRA
