Overly paranoid mom
So basically my moms dog, Fifi had started scratching a lot lately. Since my mother is in love with the dog, she began to worry and brought her to the vet. They determined that she had fleas so while in the vet, my mother spent €118 buying shampoo, flea/tick spray and spot on treatment. I thought this was utterly ridiculous but can't help my mom when it comes to her dog. So flash forward about 2 days later, my mom is throwing all out clothes into the washing machine, getting a new bed for the dog, scrubbing the carpets and getting a spot on for My dog, Bluebell and my cat, Bell. (We didn't name the pets, they were rescused). We (and by we I mean the whole family) were annoyed mom was cleaning because it would throw her back out or neck and she'd be worse than before. She eventually stopped cleaning, every clothing item was cleaned and the bed was replaced. Fifi barely scratched but mom still thought there was a problem. So we brought her to the groomers so they could wash her with the new shampoo. There, she was told she still had fleas. My mom grew more tired and stressed and we all are annoyed at this at this point. My mom was quick to determine my dog, Bluebell, is the cause of the fleas. Bluebell is an outdoor dog who sleeps in our shed and when fifi goes out the pee or poop she'll play with bluebell. So I started snapping at my mom for thinking this because she had started saying we should sell her. I was furious. Then she was quiet for a good while before saying she should sell Fifi. I told her she's irrationally thinking and her logic was very flawed but she persisted. I don't know what to do at this point, no dog is being sold that's for sure but how do I fix this flea problem and how do I make mom happy again????
