Hair lossQ: My cat was a stray, so i don't know how old she is, but she is old enough to have had 4 kids. lately i've been noticing that her hair has been thinnig very guickly on her tail and sides. i don't know what to do. help? A: Needs exam at vet to make sure no skin parasites like fleas or mange or fungal infection, etc
Product comparisonQ: Does the flea and tick meds that you purchase in the store like hartz flea and tick drops plus that you apply from the shoulder blades to the tail wofk as well as the ones you get from the vet? such as frontline sentinal etc. and do you know how long you have to wait before shampooing your dog with the hartz drops? sincerelt joan walton A: Check the label on the hartz mountain product for information about removal with shampooing. if it suggests that shampooing will reduce the efficacy, i would shampoo twice, wait a week, and apply the frontline. by the way, we carry frontline and every other product available from your veterinarian, at guaranteed savings at the time of purchase. frontline and other professional flea and tick products do not require a prescription.

Bald spotsQ: My dog has bald spots on each side of her tail and her skin is always itching.

Deer ticksQ: Does revolution also kill deer ticks? if not is there one medication that will do it all? my vet gave me revolution plus preventic plus collar. i really don't want to use a collar. what do you suggest? also are these medications good for shelties? i understand there may be a problem in collies. A: Any insecticide has potential to cause rare side effects in any breed if you read drug insert. revolution supposedly kills deer ticks but i dont have lots of experience using it. i dont find problem with preventic collar; in fact it is my preferred method of tick control. i combine this with advantage for best flea/tick control. then use monthly interceptor or heartguard for heartworms. i am not a big fan of all in 1 products
