| It appears they are going to give you a larger size, and then have you measure out individual doses, instead of the usual break open each dose and use the whole thing. Actually, when I was using Frontline Plus, I was splitting a dose between two dogs. I felt liek if the same dose was good for 0-22 pounds, then splitting it between two 4-5 pound dogs was reasonable. The vet agreed with me. I see nothing wrong with splitting a large dose if that is the case. It might actually be better to get a smaller dose measured out with the syringe. Check your Frontline that you are now using to see if it has an expiration date. The ebay site says there is no expiration. My Heartguard has an expiration but I don't have any Frontline around anymore. Seems odd that it would be good forever. But maybe??? There was a problem with counterfeit Frontline and Heartguard being sold. Don't know if this is legit or not. I would be leery about it. But since it is just flea protection, you could always try and see if it works. Now with any of the heartworm protection, I would not risk an ebay buy for that. I would buy from your vet or petmeds.

| I'm not sure how much your baby weighs but IMO I don't think its safe. As for the individually packaged syringes, I would be concerned that I wouldn't be sure exactly what's in the syringe. Not saying that someone would put something in there to deliberately harm your dog, but if its not medicene but perhaps just water it wouldn't do the job. You can end up with fleas & ticks and tapeworms, lyme disease. Just a thought.
