Lots of fleasQ: I have two large dogs that i found several fleas and flea dust on. i've given them both baths with the flea shampo, given them advantage and would like to do a flea dip but don't know how long i should wait. i also set off foggers in the house, put flea powder down on the carpets and sprayed the outside of the house. problem is i'm still finding live fleas! shouldn't i start seeing less and less of them? A: Sometimes takes a while for environmental treatments to kick in. eggs will be hatching and by second dose of advantage next month should have no fleas around. also consider oral capstar from 1800petmeds for quick kill of fleas. no need for dips
Shop for: advantage, 1800petmeds, capstar
DogsQ: I have a mixed lab who insists on licking the top of her paw until it is raw, my vet gave me a spray that is suppose to be bitter,but it's not working she has been doing this for six months please help! A: Need to treat internally. likely allergy or nervous habit. ask vet for oral script for amitryptylline which often helps these

Dose?Q: To whom it may concern: i just returned from the vet, and my dog received metronidazole 250 mg. the bottle lists the medication as mrx waltham canine low fat. my first question is: are these two names the same medication. 2nd: if this is metronidazole, what would be the dose per day to give my dog, who weighs 22 lbs. (beagle) the vet forgot to inform me, and it's not listed on the bottle. thank you. A: I suggest you contact your veterinarian to get the directions.
