Fleas on humansQ: I read the question someone else asked and your treatment. i think they are in my daughter`s hair and a simple shower is not the trick. i did a rid x treatment on her. is it ok to try flea shampoo? some are telling me they are lice but i have researched both and i think they are fleas. A: I would not recommend dog products on humans. i would see a human dermatologist for best treatment as well as definitive diagnosis. fleas do not live on people especially after bathing them off. at least the fleas that our dogs and cats get
Prescription?Q: I have a german shepard that is almost six years old. for the third time in the last four years he's been licking, chewing, and scratching to the point that his skin on his under side has turned grey and wrinkled. i think i have discovered the source to be a freshly shampooed carpet that might not have dried adaquatley. in the past, my vet has prescribed prednisone 20mg & cephalexin 500mg and his problem went away. i don't have a open prescription for these medicines. is they a way to order these without taking my dog to the vet and paying for the exam? A: You veterinarian might order them without an exam if you describe the episode to him.

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.
