Yeah we don't buy our frontline from our vet. It is way too expensive there Sheila
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of marsha Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 7:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Fleas I have heard a few vets say this as well, but the vet I had for 20 years (who has now retired) told me that it was perfectly safe and fine and that the main reason other vets like to say no is because the more they sell the more money they make! My vet had enough money to be honest, lol (most of it from me over 20 years!! lol) seriously though, this is the way I have done it every since frontline came out and have never had a problem from either an adverse reaction nor with fleas. The cost is significantly lower this way. I may be wrong, but I honestly do feel many vets say no simply because it cuts into their profits. Fleas are really bad here. We also have bad ticks, but my chis do not spend enough time in the right (or wrong?) places to get ticks, but the fleas are horrible. Before the invention of frontline, it was a never ending battle to keep fleas gone and I had an exterminator to my house twice a year to help control the fleas on the outside grounds. Since Frontline came on the market, I have absolutely NO flea problems...except for occasionally when I can't afford to buy the stuff....I start to see a couple of fleas and raid the piggy banks...then the problem is gone.

I've been hearing a lot from my other list and still worry about giving a tiny dog a dose for a 22lb dog. My vet adamantly says do not half it as it will not work. i live in a horrible area for fleas and ticks and am sickened to put the "poison" on the wee one. and yes I know Doxy was worse. (the antibiotic for lymes) Talking of Neurotic moms I actually think of moving to where there are no ticks and fleas. (does that only exist in a fantasy?
