No, I wouldn't discontinue it. It shouldn't hurt a darn thing (generally). But if there is still a problem after this round, I'd refuse to give it again without getting to the bottom of the problem.
CBC = complete blood count. It checks platelets, blood cells, etc. The chemistry checks liver, kidneys, etc. If he has never had bloodwork, then it is way overdue. All vets can read the results. There is skill to interpreting it. They should have learned how in vet school. If they can't read blood results, they wouldn't touch my pups..
Unless there is a tick problem there, Advantix is not needed.
Yes, pull the bullies for now at least. They can be full of bacteria and aren't going to do his tummy any favors. I'd consider discontinuing them for good. They are far from a great snack and can cause some nasty GI issues (clostrium most notably).
