Hey Guest G - thanks for the offer. We switched from Advanatge about 4 years ago to a product called Bio-Spot and have had much better results.. but.. if these fleas keep bugging him - you bet I'll be over to the Vet's Office for some Advanatge. I tried EVERY RX Flea medication there was from topical to edible to injectible before the dog got Epilepsy and Bio-Spot was the most effective for us at managing the fleas AND.. keeping ticks the hell off of him. Ticks are becoming a big problem here. They didn't used to be. The flea outbreak seems to have affected the entire neighborhood. All the dogs out for Walkies were stopping to scratch at them. Anyhoo - this AM, I combed the dog out again with a flea comb and found only dead fleas and not very many of them. Whatever we did yesterday worked. I guess during a major infestation, you need to do more than just apply the drops where they say to. We applied some more yesterday to his feet, calves and thighs plus a little on the under-fluff I call his 'pantaloons'. That plus the Flea killing moist-wipe I used did the trick. By Afternoon, he stopped scratching and took a good long nap. This AM, I put ,more shea butter on his bites and he seems right as rain. I HATE fleas almost as much as I hate ticks. Guest G - very kind of ou to be concerned.
