Adult cat and kitten with fleasQ: We have two cats, one that is a year old and one that is 14 weeks old. both are totally indoor. the kitten came from a home that had dogs and she had fleas when we got her, so now both have them. we have treated with over the counter topical flea med., but they are still present. what can we do to rid our cats and home of fleas once and for all? A: You do need to treat the house as well as the cats. you can use virbac knockout room and area fogger for the house. use frontline plus for the cats and give them capstar tablets to kill the adult fleas on the cat.

Hip dysplasiaQ: My vet has recommended that my dog get a total hip replacement. she has had surgery on her knee. because of her hips she popped her knee out.that surgery alone was 1000.00 dollars. then not even a week later i checked her dressing and the nail or pin had come out. they had to go back in. she cried so much. a year later the pin was coming out again pushing on her skin i had to take her back in and they had to take it out. this time 250.oo. this total hip replacement is going to cost 3,000.00 per leg. she said hers is very severe she is only 3 years old. i cant afford such a surgery. we all love her dearly. she has recomened that i put her on deramaxx or rimadyl. rimadyl is 100.00 per bottle. i wonder if i can find a cheaper price online. please if you know of anything at all i should do please let me know. she is the most sweetest loving dog. and i dont want to see her sufer. but on the other hand how long can she live this way with out the surgery? thank-you mrs.denise allen A: You could also try a veterinary acupuncturist by finding one at altvetmed.com as sometimes gold bead implants in hips can help tremendously. check with 1800petmeds pharmacist for price on meds

Which product?Q: I have a 15lb papillon 17 mos. old. which brand flea & tick product do you recommend for him. i am currently using advantage but notice you favor frontline. i noticed bio spot for dogs is inexpensive and according to your comparison chart does the same thing as the more expensive ones. thank you dolly sanders A: Biospot is another flea preventative but it is not waterproof and can be washed off. we really don't favor one product over another but the frontline plus gives added protection against the flea eggs & larvae. if you are using advantage and are satisfied with the results, "if it's not broke, don't fix it"!
