Flea treatment No Comments »

You need to have a suitable strategy on how you will tackle the issue of flea control treatment. There are various options, one is of using flea medication.

Choosing the right flea medication for your pet could be a daunting tasking and a painful for your pet as well, should you make the wrong choice. There are a number of people that have been affected by potentially the wrong application of over-the-counter flea medications.

The can have have hazardous effects like seizures, to quote a Michigan veterinary specialist emergency doctor, Loretta Lee who was talking to Fox News, “We typically do see reactions with over-the-counter medications that are spot on medications, and typically what you’ll see are skin reactions, so they’ll be scratching all over once it’s applied. We can see seizures and some animals can die from it,”.

It is always worth while taking note that some animals should be never be treated with anti-flea chemicals, “Puppies and kittens, especially those that are under twelve to 18 weeks. Pregnant animals can not have that medication, as well,Some cats can not have certain medications and so you need to read the packaging.” listed Dr Lee.

Some sound tick-and-flea treatment advice, once given by Sandra Koch, a veterinarian and board-certified dermatologist at the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine includes the following notable points:

# You should not put Fido’s medicine on Mittens. Dosages that would be fine on a large dog might hurt a smaller breed, also Some ingredients that are effective on a dog (permethrin and pyrethrin) can kill a cat.

# Don’t expect a natural concoction to work; none has been proven scientifically.

# If the pet gets an adverse reaction, bathe the animal with soap and water as soon as possible then immediately call a veterinarian.

# Avoid bathing the animal or letting it swim for 48 hours before and after applying a topical product.

# Don’t apply the product on a sore.

# Consider prescription products for specific uses: Comfortis, a monthly tablet just for fleas, is good for a dog that swims a lot. Revolution and Advantage Multi include a heartworm preventative. Vectra 3D also protects against mosquitoes

Flea infestation is no small problem
….A good flea control program includes good sanitation and treatment of the pet and environment. OK, the first step is to practice good sanitation. ………..Fleas can be a source of both irritation and disease. Dogs and cats scratch constantly when heavily infested, resulting in soiled and roughened coats and, sometimes, in nervous conditions. The most serious effects occur when a pet develops an allergy to flea bites. As few as one or two bites can cause severe itching and scratching in allergic pets.

Flea Medicine for Pets (Cats, dogs, ferrets)

Flea treatment, Fleas No Comments »

If you have to cope with a flea infestation, flea medicine is one of the most effective ways that you can help your pets cope with the fleas while also removing them from your home. There are many different types of flea medications that you can purchase on the market. All of them are designed with several purposes in mind. The primary one is to relieve your pets of the itching and swelling associated with fleas. The second purpose is to act as a guard against further flea bites. Finally, flea medicine acts as a pesticide for fleas. This is highly useful, as your pet becomes a moving flea killer.

When you need to select flea medicine, chances are that you will use more than one for the best effect. While there are some medications that can be bought that serve several purposes, vets will often recommend a series of three treatments to help cope with a flea infestation. These treatments are available for both cats and dogs.

If you have other animals, getting the flea medicine that you need can be more difficult. Ferrets and other exotic animals are  not common enough to have as many products available to help them against fleas. Some of the products for cats and dogs can be adapted for ferrets and other small mammals, but in many cases, you need to use flea killing methods elsewhere to get the pests from bothering them.

Flea medicine is not the only recourse you have against a flea infestation, though it should be the first one that you invest in. As the comfort of your pets should be first on your agenda, you will want to make certain they are treated before you take steps to get rid of the fleas in your home. A popular method for killing fleas includes tactics such as flea bombing, flea fogging, and use of repellents to keep fleas from entering your home. A combination of several of these methods, as well as use of flea medicine, can drastically cut the number of fleas in your home in a short period of time.

However, even with the use of flea medication and other pesticides, you will need to make use of a flea killing regime for up to two and a half years. This is due to the fact that flea eggs can survive for several years without hatching, making the flea problem extremely difficult to get rid of.

If you have a problem with fleas, you should look into flea medicines such as Advantage and Front Line.
