frontline dosage 8wks -22lbs?????? Does this bother anybody else?My bandit is 5lbs.Our 8 wk old pups are about 2lbs so to me that doesnt make any sense.I was wondering about sharing a dose between my 2 yorkies not that i"m cheap it just makes sense,does anyone do this. |
I would check with your vet on this - you don't want to overdo it or under protect them - The vet can tell you if this is feasible. I know Heartguard cannot be shared - the medicine in the Chewable is injected into it (or however they do it) and you never know WHERE it is - so they cannot be shared - but I don't know about the Frontline. I personally wouldn't mess with it - but your vet can tell you better. |
Years ago I had a problem with fleas and ticks and my vet gave me a dose of some kind of spot on treatment for my dauchsund. She had puppies and the vet told me to split the dose. I don't remember what they weighed though. I would ask your vet how much they can have at 8 weeks. I know most things are not made for puppies until they are 12 weeks. |
I split my front line between my 2 males. My vet said that was fine because 1 is 2 lbs and the other 1 is 3 lbs. She agreed that one dose might be to strong for the little guys but I never do there shots and Rabies together either I do them seperate because they are to little and I'm not taking any chances. |
I Have Two Cats One 17lbs And One 10lbs And A Yorkie 4lb 8oz My Vet Sells Me Frontline For Big Dogs And I Use .5 Ml On Each An Month It Will Last About Six Months But I Have No Problems Yet |
you should ask your vet about the dosage. my vet suggested the "share" method to me. It helps keep the cost down. mine are almost 10 lbs., 3 @ 5 lb each. (slightly over). I buy the 23-44 lb. Frontline Plus. I give the 10# just slightly more. I would ask our vet first tho. |
I have a 3lb poodle and a 5 lb yorkie and my vet said it was fine to split the dose between them, I really hate to overmedicate them if I don't have to. You should probably ask your own vet though for your own peice of mind. I know the breeder I bought the yorkie from said she does ths with her dogs and has never had a problelm |
