The amount to orderQ: Katie is a 15 yrs. llhasa apso and has been taking heartguard for her entire life. my vet has always given her 8 months supply of this medicine yet i see they only come in 6 month increments or 12 month increments. does she need to take it for 8 months since she is an inside dog most of the time? A: We can make arrangements to send you 8 months supply. please contact our customer service department for assistance.
Hot spotsQ: About 3 months ago my dog, max, started getting bald spots on his hind legs. then they started right at the top of his front legs by the joints. i brought him to the vet and they said it may be a mite problem. they did a couple skin scrapes but were not able to find any. they still decided to treat him for them anyway and said they are hard to find on the dog. they said to give him fish oil pills once a day and they prescribed ivermectin to him. i give him .9 ml once a day. it seemed to clear up but then it came back even worst and now he is biting those spots as well. i've been giving him ivermectin again for the last 2 weeks and it is not making any progress this time. it cost about 85$$$ for a 2 week supply. any ideas on what else i can do?? A: I would see different vet. you need definitive diagnosis here as might not be mite problem at all. i would recommend vet dermatologist consult or some vet who will do skin biopsy to get to cause so right treatment is done

Question about heartgard medicineQ: My dog weighs 16 lbs. can i buy a 45/50 lb box of heartgard and break the pill in half and thus have a years supply at the price of a 6 month supply? also... if my dog is on heartgard year round, do i have to have them re-examined every year? A: To ensure that the pet gets the full, required dose, it is recommended that you do not split the tablet in half. if your pet is on heartworm medication year round you may not need a heartworm test every year. it is up to your veterinarian but many veterinarians test every 2 years for pets on year round prevention.

Overdose my l2 lb. dog on topspot plusQ: I used topspot plus and it seemed to work for about 2 weeks. he is back to scratching and licking himself and i have found a few fleas on him. what is the next step i should take to get rid of these bugs. i'm not sure if they are in my house bit it is driving me crazy thinking that maybe they are. i was told i should give him another l/2 doze of the 3-month supply, wait 30 days and do it again for the next 4 months. it was also suggested to bomb the house. i'm concerned that i may make him sick but i need to get rid of these bugs!!!!! please help. thanks A: No. don't use another dose of the frontline. to effectively treat a flea problem, you need to treat the pet, the house and the yard.
