The first time we discovered fleas on Toto, I called Dr. Lucy to ask her to recommend a good flea shampoo ... she didn't recommend ANY flea shampoo! She told us to go to a local vet and get a vial of flea treatment & a syringe ... bathe her in her regular shampoo, kill all the fleas, dry her and put 1/2 the treatment between her shoulders. We did ... it worked ... been using it ever since! She did finally "graduate" to a full dose! |
I have a question then. My vet does not carry frontline topspot anymore only the plus which irritated lil bear's skin last time so this time I halfed it and put on both moose and lil bear, I have 3 viles left. When you say over the counter do you mean the stuff like biospot or ordering it from someplace like Dr. Foster and Smith, or one of the other pet supply places?
