Emiliano has a reaction to the flea meds in the tube that you put between the shoulder blades. Vet switched him to Comfortis, has worked well and he takes it well. In the past I have used nematodes, and diatomaceous earth in the yard, put some of the earth dust around the baseboards and even put some in a sock and dusted my dog with it. Got rid of the fleas.

Apparently the Frontline does not work anymore on Itsy our newest member. Going to have to come up with something else for her. Plus I think the fleas like the ticks and black widow spiders and other pest we have here are so much worse this year. One reason is because of the tornado damage that was done that destroyed their natural habitats. Anyway, I am talking to the vet Monday about the Comfortis, (sp) has anyone else used it and what kind of results did you have?. I AM ALSO LOOKING INTO THE Diatomaceous earth, even though it did not work for Bogie it might work for Itsy.. We never had any idea exactly how old Itsy was and she is in heat now. Not letting her get with another dog but just wondered if the female hormones generated from the heat could cause the medication to not work anymore? Thanks Sheila
