gurtwurz 793 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 apparently this is the worse flea year in living memory, but i've just been told that fox fleas, if picked up by dogs can cause cancer or worse(is there worse than?!) in your terrier. does anyone know anything about this, or is someone extracting urine from me?! thanks for any help given Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Think of it this way, could a nit or mosquito give you cancer? Unless they are eating uranium I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gurtwurz 793 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 i suspected as much, would've meant a lot of dead fox hounds over the years if it were true, but best to be sure... they're only stupid questions when you know the answer already...

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 These days it would be quicker to list what doesn't (allegedly) cause cancer... But I've never heard of dogs getting cancer from fox fleas, so that's one less thing to worry about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
