Can frontline be used in conjunction with revolution?
Q: We have a maine coon who loves being outdoors. we have applied revolution on him but are concerned that it does not provide enough tick protection. is it safe to use frontline in conjunction with revolution? (we have been finding ticks, both flat and engorged, on him, not to mention cicada carcasses,lol. darn his long, silky coat.)
A: Revolution, which contains selamectin, is a monthly topical product that controls american dog ticks (dermacentor variabilis) only.|in severely tick-infested areas or for dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors and in the woods, we have found a preventic tick collar in addition to a permethrin-containing product such as bio spot is going to give your dog the best protection. this collar contains amitraz, which is fda approved to use in conjunction with most other flea and tick products. with the preventic collar, 95% of the ticks will detach and die within 24 hours.
Shop for: tick, revolution, preventic collar, frontline

Otomax vs. genotic
Q: My 8 yr. old golden retriever has been battling ear infections all her life. before we moved her vet precribed otomax then our new vet prescribes genotic. i see i can order otomax from your web site but not genotic! i was reading some of the questions from other people and can feel for the recurring problems and the $$ involved. i was wondering what the difference is between the two and if you have any suggestions? thanx kathy
A: I suppose you mean gentacin otic. the only difference is that otomax has an antifungal agent in it to kill any yeast overgrowth in the ears which is fairly common in dogs like yours. gentacin otic does not have this antifungal agent
Reverse sneezing
Q: My three pound yorkie has reverse sneezing, i need to know more about it and what can i do for him, is he in pain when this happens. thank you rose
A: No one knows why dogs do this which is like post nasal drip spasms. just rub throat during episodes and try some rescue remedy from health food store which i often finds shortens duration. sometimes allergies can be involved so you could try 1/4 childrens benadryl up to twice daily if persists daily
