Affordabile medcineQ: My dog taylor has allergys, the problen is the vet is charging me 42.00 for a 30 day supply of tavist. is there a less expensive way of getting it. i cant find it in your medcines, A: We do not currently stock it among our antihistamines, but until then you can purchase it at your local pharmacy. it is available as tavist and the generic product clemastine should be right next to it on the shelf. be careful not to buy the tavist-d, or the generic which contains pseudoephedrine.

Changing medicationQ: My dog, a 30 lb mixed breed, who lives in the house has been on revolution since early 2000. i recently bought another six months supply of revolution at the beginning of february and started the applications. i have given him 3 doses since the first of february and he still has fleas. i know i have fleas in my yard as i have another dog, a rotty, living outside and he has fleas. because he weighs 160 lb i cannot afford to buy flea protection for him so i just use topical. my question is, do dogs get immune to the effects of meds after a period of time as humans do? if so, i need to switch but am concerned about overdoing the little guy. is it safe to switch and apply right away? A: Some products do stop working in some pets andit may have to do with resistance on flea end which is only inevitable as these are used over time. you could try another product like frontline plus or advantage.
