What increases my risk for a hypertensive crisis? Failure to take your blood pressure medicine as directed by your doctor. Hypertension caused by pregnancy (preeclampsia, eclampsia) Thyroid disease, kidney or adrenal disease, heart disease, or stroke. Cocaine or amphetamine use. Cigarette smoking or alcohol abuse.
Fill shallow bowls of water with dish detergent. The water and dish detergent mixture is like a toxic swimming pool for fleas. When they jump into the mixture, they die. Place the water and detergent mixture in a very shallow bowl, low enough to the ground so that the fleas accidentally hop into it. An old frisbee does the job quite well.
Step 2. Get a flea comb from your local pet store and dip it in a dish of soapy water (Dawn dish soap). Run the comb through the puppy's hair and dip the comb quickly in a pan of boiling-hot water to remove fleas from the comb and kill fleas. Repeat until you have combed the entire puppy.
