Frontline not workingQ: I have a 4 year old lab and use frontline plus on her regularly. just recently she has been scratching her ears alot. why does she have fleas even with regular use of this product? what can i do to get rid of these fleas; she has scratched her fur off right behind both her ears. thanks so much for your help. A: Are you sure she has fleas; because dogs can itch their ears for other types of allergies. if you are truly seeing fleas, then you could try advantage for fleas as well as treating your house as well which is just as important
Shop for: advantage, frontline plus, frontline
Riding in carQ: Lola is an adopted dog from animal rescue. she is about 5 years old and a mixed terrier. she is absolutely wonderful except for one problem. when you tell her she's going "bye bye" in the car, she gets so excited. yet, before we get out of the parking lot, she is crying and carrying on terribly. we have tried putting her in a crate and feeding her treats until we get to our destination (which is never more than 20 minutes away, usually to visit her grandfather). we have tried to hold her up front but she scratches us and cries and jumps all over the place. i see other dogs with their heads out the window loving riding in a car but she is horrible. the only part that is strange is that on the ride home, she is like a little angel, sitting in my arms in the passenger seat wrapped in a blanket like a baby. she only starts to act up when we get to the intersection near our home. can you offer some suggestions for lola as we would love to take her with us but it's a terrible experience for all of us. thank you very much. A: There is a product called vita treat pet calm tablets that can be used in situations such as this.
Clavamox/generticQ: When you look up clavamox on the website it shows amoxicillin as the generic. if my dog is being treated with clavamox for the rest of her life can i change to amoxicillin? who can afford clavamox! help me with alternatives please. i have already cut her 375mg dose in half because i can't afford the cost. A: Clavamox is amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. this is an augmented amoxicillin. changing to amoxicillin is changing to a different medication.
