Dog Flea Medicine

Ronnie Said:

If i've given my dog her flea medicine already can I still wash her with flea shampoo?

We Answered:

If you use Frontline or Advantage, you shouldn't need to do anything else. And you shouldn't bathe them for a couple days after giving them the Frontline or Advantage.

If you are already using these brands and they aren't working, nuke your house THEN bathe your dogs. The bombs keep your house flea free for a least a couple months.

Idk when you gave them their meds but wait a week and then wash them. THem being in your house with fleas shouldn't matter since the fleas will die if they leave your dog

Tamara Said:

Does Dog Flea medicine make the fleas worse before it gets better?

We Answered:

I don't think it makes the fleas worse but he could already have irritated skin from all the flea bites. He'll probably be irritated for a couple days till the flea bites heal. But some flea medicine can cause irritation or an allergic reaction so I'd watch him closely. If he gets worse stop the medicine and get a vets advice.

Kim Said:

What can i do if dog flea medicine accidently got on my kitten? no money until payday for vet.kit is twitchy?

We Answered:

you need to try to wash the area thoroughly especially in the spot where the medication was applied..keep the cat warm and dry after the bath and keep a close eye on the kitten if it starts going into a seizure you HAVE to get it to the vet or else it will die...dont EVER use any flea medication that you buy over the counter always purchase it from a vet it is only a few dollars more...hope she is ok

Sheila Said:

can i give my dog flea medicine when her newborns are drinking milk from her?

We Answered:

Call your Vet before you accidentally kill all the babies. But fleas on the babies is not a good situation, 1 probably will be hundreds in a few hours. Call the Vet.

Josephine Said:

what happens if a human ingested dog flea medicine?

We Answered:

No. Calm down. Think clearly. you know the dog can lick itself.. if the medicine were that toxic, it would kill the dog. They know that people pet their dogs.. obviously it can't be deadly poison or it would kill the dogs and kill the pet owners. But it makes me wonder why your father doesn't wash his hands before he eats.. that is GROSS. He won't die from it though.

Michael Said:

what happens if I give my dog some flea medicine then give it a bath?

We Answered:

It will remove the spot-on & you must use a soap-free shampoo or it will remove it no matter when you applied it. Always better to bathe first then apply. Each bath does weaken some of the protection.
