There are products that are cheaper but I won't recommend them, too dangerous (I see some at, like, Walmart, etc, that have bad reactions and reviews).
Honestly, I am all for saving money where you can. I have taken Jackson to a local clinic for things like rabies vaccine, etc, where it's cheap and quick. But when it comes to an issue like you are having, we are off to the vet. I'm a college student, I barely get by most of the time, but I do manage to take care of my dogs needs. Just yesterday he had to be put under for a dental and surgery because I knew his tooth was bothering him and I did not want him to be in pain. I scrounged up $1300 of my own money to do it. Because it had to be done, it's what having a dog is all about. Most people wouldn't let their children suffer due to lack of funds. There are options out there, such as Care Credit, to help. In this case, I recommend a vet.
It will probably be a pretty easy treatment and not too costly but it's something that has to be done. If it's a flea allergy, they will probably give you medicated shampoo to give him. There's really nothing that I or anyone on this forum can tell you to do because we are not professionals. |
