ShadesOf Idaho - Where'd you get your nativity set?
Comments (4)I remember thinking Idaho's nativity set was attractive but cannot remember exactly what it looked like. I bought this one at Costco last year and saw that they brought it back again this year. Not sure if this is your taste. Here is a link that might be useful: nativity scene...See MoreComfortis
Comments (27)I am sorry to read these alarming reports regarding the loss of your pets. I have used comfortis for over 3 yrs on a monthly basis for my 3 cairn terriers. The flea problem is severe here and where it used to back off in the high humidity of the summer it does not. Cairn Terriers are highly adapt to skin infections from flea, or other bug bites. Miserable for the dogs and costly in fighting with antibiotics. The topical s do nothing and when they did, results were very limited with frequent wet dogs in rain and weather. Reapplication and cost add up and they are not all so safe either Comfortis changed all of the flea problems quickly given about 30 -35 day intervals and it doesn't wash off. It is a powerful drug and I worried about using it. I have had difficultly with vomiting at first . My dogs are 2 (M/F) from the same litter, the other (M) is 2 yrs older from a earlier litter all having the same Mother. Age of these Cairns are 5 and 7 and weight about 15 lbs ea. The only problem I've had as I said thus far in 3 yrs with doses given every month of the yr was spitting it out or one vomiting early on. My dogs are fed once a day with no free range on feed. Directly before the meal I wrap the pill in something such as a treat cheese, meat, or peanut butter and they eat followed directly by their full meal. So they have a full stomach with the pill eaten first. This ceased the earlier vomiting situation and the vet agreed this is a must have medication with a fully belly. While I will research and watch with caution I will continue to use this medication because it is very effective and in this environment the other choices are very poor. I have had good long term results with 3 small cairn terriers and the outcome with skin disease and fleas without it would be more dangerous and problematic for my dogs and my household....See MoreComfortis
Comments (2)I am very sorry as well. I'd be interested to learn the lesions found in necropsy that were associated with Comfortis toxicity. I don't prescribe it very often even though the hospital where I work sells it. Please share any information you have so I help avoid further tragedies. Also, what shot was given? Maybe we should avoid whatever the shot was when Comfortis has beed given. Or maybe Capstar was the problem. Again I am very sorry for your loss....See MoreFibroguard? Comfortis?

Comments (6)Pronyl is NOT Fontline Plus, it is only Frontline which does NOT contain the insect growth regulator that helps control flea infestations so well. I personally have not prescribed Frontline ever (been a vet for 3 years) because I consider the IGR to be a very important part of the flea control program. Advantix is also a great product but since it is still patented no cheap generics are available. I'd go with the Fiproguard....See Morefloridapalmken
