| Acarexx for my yorkie?? I took my Lucy Lu to the vet today because she kept scratching her ears, and yup she has ear mites. The vet gave her Acarexx otic suspension but it is labeled for cats! They administered a dose there in the office and sold me 2 more doses that need to be administered every two weeks. Im wondering if maybe they made a mistake in giving me a cat treatment or if anyone has heard or knows that this med can be used on dogs? She is feeling a little low but she also had her annual vaccanations. |

| I have had a couple of fosters that came to me with ear mites and my vet treated them with Acarexx. There were no problems with it. Yes, it is marketed for cats, but I do know that vets use it on dogs. If you are uncomfortable with this, you should call your vet tomorrow for an explanation. As for her annual vaccinations, just so you know, most vets are now recommending giving them a few weeks apart. And, the AAHA is now recommending that the DHPP be given every three years after the inital puppy shots and first year shot.

| Thanks! As far as the vaccantions, I was worried going into the vets office because I knew how she got the last time she had them and I was told just to keep an eye on her. BUT now I know (a few hours too late!) not to give them to her all at once. thank you on the info about the Acarexx. |
