Guinness vet visit


We have just got back from the vets with him. He had nasty scratches around his head only. The vet said its a flea alergy. She gave him and injection to calm the itch down. We also explained that frontline doesnt work as we only treated them all a month ago so she prescribed stronghold instead. We are going to get some stuff for the house tomorrow propper stuff this time from the vets. We didnt take enough money today for it. We always treated them every 6wks with frontline in the previous place we lived in so we didnt have fleas its only since we moved in here that we have had problems. I hate the b****y creatures.

Re: Guinness vet visit


Phew, it's a relief to get a diagnosis, Jane.
Poor old soul, and to think I thought he'd done it scrapping. Please accept my apologies Guinness

Re: Guinness vet visit


Stronghold is what my vet prescribed last time I saw him. I think they are all waking up to the fact that Frontline (for whatever reason) no longer seems to work for a lot of people, although not for all.

Stronghold certainly seems to have worked for Merlin. Good luck Jane - it has the advantage of killing not only the adult fleas, but the larval and egg stages too.
