  • hi all
    i got some k9 adv 2 from pedmeds.com.for the b and the lab,for isis i got the 21-55 # doseage, now im questioning it, the next size down was 11-20 lb which is a 9 lb difference , the next size listed was 21-55 which is 34 lb difference thats big in my book for a b thats maybe in the mid 20 lb range, im afraid that i might od her, i called the vet but hasnt called back yet, wondering whats your take on this thanks

  • If your dog is mid 20s, the dosage is fine.

  • Hey MustBeCrazy,

    I use the 11-20lbs Advantixll as well for Uzie and he is 27 lbs. I have had no problems with him and the parasites or biting flies. I just hated the thought of over dosing!!! And if you use it every 4 weeks (spring thru fall), you'll help with prevention. During the winter,(if you use it at all) you could go 5, 6, or almost 7 weeks since your climate has the critters dormant. I read somewhere, don't have the statistics, but if you really do research you will find information such as this….

  • I used Frontline for years, but I used it in March, not again until generally June, then in Oct. After a few years here, we no longer had fleas. When I'd bring in a rescue, sometimes we'd get a few but one round of Frontline was all they needed. I haven't had a flea in at least 5 yrs, btw.. so I don't use ANYTHING unless I have a problem. When we lived in an apartment in PA, we had no choice as they were always there. But with my own yard and no neighbor connecting my yard with pets, no new fleas.

    Corona vaccines are just money makers for the vets. They are NOT considered core vaccines and I would never subject my animal to it. I suggest you find a vet in your area that is AAHA accredited. They ascribe to the core vaccine protocols of the National Veterinary Societies. As for vaccines two weeks apart. Only if they are different vaccines. Ie - Ph'nx just got her Dist/Parvo, in 2 weeks will be getting her Rabies, then 2 weeks later her "adult" dist/parvo. You are wasting your money if you are giving say, a dist/parvo then in 2 weeks boostering it. Not only wasting your money but overdosing your dog, IMO. Avandia lawsuit

    @nobarkus: I'm too hesitant to try any of the chemical drops with the bad reactions I've seen. Well, actually my vet recommends against topical for my basenji kids. They said that they have plenty of dogs in their practice that got Lyme while on topical. The best line of defense is to look my kids over after they have been outside. I too have heard too many horror stories and I don't want pesticides on my bedding or furniture. Granted I have it somewhat easier as my kids are 2 red & whites and one red brindle…black, dark brindle or tri would be harder to find a tick on.
