| Damn lice First, Ruger went to the groomers and got a lice bath. 9 days later I used Adams Flea and Tick Mist on him -- recommended by my Vet. I'm pretty sure Ruger still has those damn lice. I sent an email to the Adams company and asked about their shampoo. They said the shampoo is a good product but only works when it's on the dog. Once you rinse it off it's gone. They recommended the shampoo followed by the mist. I could go back to the groomer, but she charges a fortune. Any ideas? |

| Ask your vet about using Revolution on him. It's a Heartworm preventative, but also kills fleas, ticks, mites and other stuff. It's a topical application and is so much easier (and safer, IMHO) than multiple baths and sprays, and more effective.

| I'm sure these applications for fleas will do the trick for lice as well. It does mention them. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Ticks, fleas, bees, flies, snakes and other gremlins!

| I went by the vet's office, and asked them about the shampoo and/or spray. They sold me a bottle of Virbac Ecto-Sooth 3X, and told me to use this shampoo about every week, and when Ruger is dry to follow-up with the spray. The Virbac seems to have the same ingredients as other popular lice shampoos, but it's a little cheaper. Thanks for the replies, and I'll let you know how it goes. I honestly don't think my vet would give me anything that would harm Ruger, but I do realize there are many "natural" shampoos and sprays out there. I also believe, IMHO, that with a small dog that has long hair the shampoo probably gets to more areas than a spray, and after it's been on the dog for the recommended 10 minutes it rinses completely off. Thanks again. |
