Hi Quicksilver! Great to see you back here, but sorry to hear you are concerned about Thor. Does his slowdown coincide with the use of Comfortis? That would be my first suspicion too.

I also agree with Cathy about treating the skin infection with an antibiotic rather than just a shampoo.

Rotten fleas. I had never seen one in the first 40 years of my life, but Teddy picked up a couple at the park each of the last 3 years. He is highly allergic. We have a spray from the vet that I have used on bites that prevented skin infection.

Best wishes for Thor.
