Flea bits causing iching and bitingQ: I have two dogs; one is a 95 lb. irish wolfhound mix, the other being a 55 lb. sharpai mix. i used frontline for their fleas but since the only way the fleas will die according to you people is that the flea has to bite the dog then the dog is left to suffer. i have cleaned my rug, vacumed my furniture and change their bedding often. my problem is the dogs are going crazy with the flea bites. they are licking, scratching, and biting themselves really bad. i read where benedryl will help and if so how much should i give the dogs? also is there any itch reliever that is used by humans that the dogs can also use? A: You can use benadryl(generic-diphenhydramine) 1mg per pound of body weight two to three times daily.

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.
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.
