DosageQ: I have three cats, flea meds are expensive. is there any difference in dosage of medicines if i buy a six months supply of advantage, giving each cat 1 dose for two months, or is the first dose in this six month pack stronger or something? all three cats weigh about the same, so they'd use the same pill strength. thanks in advance. A: Each monthly dose of advantage contains the same amount of medication. in order for this product to be effective you need to follow the manufacturer's directions and use 1 tube on each cat once a month.

Preventic plus vs. frontline plusQ: Our vet recently recommended we use the preventic collar instead of frontline in the future. easier to use and lasts for 3 months. also cheaper. what do you think? A: It is my understanding that there are supply issues with preventic and preventic plus collars. i recommend continuing with frontline plus.

Yeast infectionQ: I have a cocker spaniel and every few months his skin turns deep pink, he itches and scratches uncontrollably then his skin gets large flaky patches all over his body. the vet prescribes a two week supply of antibiotic each time this occurs however i would like to use a preventive care to keep this from happening. can you tell me if there is anything available? A: You need to address potential underyling causes or problem will occur. some of possibiliites include food allergy(common in this breed esp if no seasonal pattern to skin issue), inhalent allergies, or thyroid issues. have vet workup for these
GluecomaQ: My son has a 1year old black lab that went blind at about 8 months old. one eye has a detached retina the other gluecoma. my son has to put drops in the dogs eyes and has a prescription for xalatan drops - which are very expensive on his limited income. is there anywhere you know of online he can order this medication that would be cheaper than his pharmacy ($57.00 for a month and 1/2 supply). A: We do not stock xalatan. you can check on-line pharmacies to get their prices.
AdvantageQ: I've purchased a 6pk of advantage under the misconception that it is both for fleas & ticks. after further investigation i realized it is just for fleas. can i purchase a seperate tick med that can both be administered at the same time? when my supply runs out, i will order frontline which is for both. thanks A: You can order a tick collar to use until the product is gone.
