| Tick treatment Hi all I wanted to get some tick and flea treatment for Brutus as he is outside a lot and the weather is pretty warm here now. The first time I went to the vet to get some she said he had to weigh 1 kg before he could have it so we waited. Now she says he has to be 2 kg! Do they really have to be a certain weight before they get treatment, I want Advantix but this vet keeps saying no! He is currently 1.8kg (4lbs) and just over 4 months old.

For any size dog it could cause reactions but for a tiny yorkie it could be more serious. They do sell a "revolution" topical that comes in a puppy dosage for 0-5 pounds. Ask your vet about this... Revolutioin is for fleas & ticks as well as heartworm... http://www.nationalpetpharmacy.com/P...ittens-0-5-lbs Last edited by MY OSCAR; 03-30-2012 at 12:17 AM. | |
