As someone already mentioned: change heartworm preventative! Heartgard can cause seizures in certain breeds and it has been shown that some heartworms have become very resistant to Heartgard (Ivermectin is the drug contained in it). Do Sentinel or maybe Revolution.

Revolution works great for fleas, at least in cats, and is also indicated to prevent heartworm.
My son is hyper-allergic to flea bits, and our cat sleeps in his bed. Our vet had recommended alternating Revolution and Frontline monthly, b/c Frontline prevents deer ticks. My son was getting terrible bites and we couldn't figure out what was going on, thought maybe we had bed bugs. Finally figured out that the Frontline wasn't working. Switched to Revolution only and no more bites.
We are going to switch our dog to Revolution next month. He's been on sentinel for heartworm prevention, but getting him to swallow the pills is a PITA.
