| Need for panic????!!! Hey everyone.... Need opinions asap! I had gotten Advantage 20 (Teal Green Pack) for Lucky last evening from his vet. So, today I gave him his bath and applied the first dosage. He has been like rolling around trying to get it off of himself. He is showing no signs of it hurting him, I even checked his skin to see for redness and there's none. Something is telling me that because this dosage is for a 11kg-20kg dog and Lucky is a hair away from maybe 10lbs....could the amount be too strong for him?The Advantage before this one is for dogs up to 10 kgs....should I have maybe went with that one? I am trusting my vet to know which one is best for my furbaby...I will feel so bad if I've over dosed him.....I put his t shirt on him so he isn't rolling around to get it off....he isn't doing anything now just here lying nest to me, so, it's not bothering him.....just me. lol I'm mostly concerned about the weight vs amount...... Please someone tell me it's ok!!! Thanks

| He's probably fine, though I would keep an eye on him. My yorkie does the same thing after I give her a bath, she gets wet, or anything involving liquids on her body. She's just squirmy like that. However, I would stick with the under 10lbs Advantage pack if your dog is just at 10. The amount of medicine in the liquid gets higher as you go, so I personally pick the smaller dose for my dog, as I'm a worrisome doggy mama. :P

| Oh I know about being squirmy when wet!!He gets crazy zoomies when he has a bath!!lol I was a little nervous though this time because I had him on Advantage Multi last spring and it didn't bother him to roll and rub at all....I guess he is older and wiser now!! He prolly thinks he's a big boy and can do it if he wants!!lol Thanks for your reply
