PreventativeQ: I have a maltese that wighs 7 pounds and i am looking for an oral pill that i can give once a month instead of applying the topical treatment once a month. this would be so much simpler than trying to apply liquid to my dogs skin. he is only 1 year and 4 months old and loves the outdoors. he is in great health and has had all his shots and been nuetered. thanks for any assistance. A: You can use program tablets once a month for the control of fleas. program does not protect against ticks.

Rash around eye of dogQ: My minipin has suddenly developed a gray sort of circular rash around one eye. can this be an allergy? what do you think it could be, and what can i do for it. thank you for reply A: Answered this previously. likely allergy or secondary infection but needs vet visit to make sure not skin parasite
HeartwormsQ: My dog is on heartworm shots.but with all the mosquitos in my yard is she still protected? or do i need to worry? A: If you are using heartworm preventative, your pet should be adequately protected.
Stomach achesQ: I think my 2 year old dog may have an allergy to her food (natural choice for skin and coat). i have had her on this food over a year for her skin allergies. now however, she seems to get a stomach ache about once or twice a week. she will wake me up in the middle of the night crying and when i take her out, she will just eat grass. i can also hear her tummy making all kinds of noises....eventually she will end up with diarrhea. i have since placed her on a rice and plain yogurt diet with a dietary supplement. she has not had any problems since except that her stool is very runny (no stomach aches or grass eating). is there any food that i might be able to feed her? i don't know what else to do. thank you. A: She she should really have vet visit for full gi workup as she might have intestinal condition that needs chronic meds. you can try low allergy diet like california natural lamb and rice diet by natura as well as wellness fish and potato diet. also consider pepcid ac for vomiting at dose of 1/2 mg per pound once to twice daily and try slippery elm from health food store for diarrhea in meantime
Application of frontlineQ: Hi, i applied my dogs frontline plus to about three locations between the shoulder due to the vets directions not stating that it should all go in one location. my question is will this deminish the effectiveness or will it be ok for this one time? thanks A: Many times in larger (longer) dogs the product works more effectively with that type of application.
