Hi, I'm new and I desperately need some answers. I bath my Yorkie every 2 weeks. I have tried several different shampoos that claim not to wash the Advantage off, but needless to say she ends up with fleas 24 hours after her bath. My vet feels that Advantage is safe to put on her every 2 weeks and she is also on Sentinel which supposedly inhibits flea reproduction. The problem is Maisy acts very strange when I put Advantage on. She runs around in circles and seems to get very depressed. I'm not sure how safe this is for her. I have tried to Comfortis but it only works for 24 hours. She is just 4 pounds and the Vet will not give her the oral flea control pill. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
