| Here is something from a vet that contradicts the seizure threshold theory. They say at higher amounts it can lead to it and all heartworm preventatives are safe to use. Heartworm and Flea Control Medication

With other alternatives out there, for me personally I can't see taking the risk, though. Interceptor is just as effective and I like the fact that there is a dose for a 10 pound and under dose. | |

| I can agree with you on that I dont like the dosage size max on heartguard at all. I never paid attention to that before but plan to ask my vet about it since one of my dogs is only 6 lbs

| I use Interceptor flavor tabs (but I don't have a Yorkie--yet--I have a shepherd). |

| Avon Skin-so-Soft Back in the late '80s ( that's 20 years ago!), when I had a poodle-mix (who had terrible fleas where I lived at the time) I used Avon Skin-so-Soft bath oil before I gave her a shampoo. It killed the fleas completely in a few minutes while she was in the tub. Then I used a gentle non-toxic shampoo. I don't know about the formula Avon uses now, though, or if it would irritate the skin of a Yorkie. |

I would think it would be to strong for the furbaby skin but we can found out, just call Avon and they should tell u what they think, or someone here has some at home and can find out what formula it has. bark@ulater! manina,miley, max | |

| Welcome! I have my Lexy, yorkie, 2yoa next week and 5.5lbs, and a black pug Piper, 2 on 9/11, 19lbs. They are the best of friends and sisters. Where in Orlando are you? I'm in s/e near the airport. I take my girls to Barber park on Gatlin off of 436. There is a great small breed section there. |
