So my dog dislocated his hip and broke the bone holding his femur in place almost two weeks ago. He had to get surgery for it and almost two weeks later, I see fleas on him. I've had friends who told me their dog, like mine, was flea free until they took them into the vets for an ailment and when they brought them back home they noticed fleas a few days later. I was not told by my vet about this risk and I'm wondering if they should be held accountable for it? If I had known the risk I would've gone out and bought him flea medication the day I brought him home and they really can't assume that every dog or cat coming through their hospital is on medication. This is a big deal to me because it's been two weeks that he's possibly had them (and he didn't get it after the vets because he's been staying in hims room 98% of the time to keep the weight off of his leg) and that means they could be in my carpets and reproducing which presents an infestation problem. I wouldn't be posting on here since it is a dog training site but I can't find anything online about it and this is posted under off topic. Any thoughts or advice? (I did go out and buy him flea medication but it takes 12 hours to kill them and I'm really worried about my apartment possibly becoming infested from some that dropped off of him!)
