She was an itching maniac. And, the frustrating thing was, she was on a flea treatment. But, the little critters were biting her and she was itching and scratching. So, I took her to the vet and found out that the generic Frontline (PetArmor) may have the main active ingredient BUT not some of the other lesser ingredients and that was allowing fleas to bite her. Since the peak flea months are September and October, he advised returning to Frontline just until frost. Go ahead and use PetArmor in the wintertime but switch to the "good stuff" for the six months of active flea season. Darn! Gotta pay twice the price for the Frontline. The vet also gave her a steriod shot and a week's worth of antibiotics (to eliminate any secondary staph infections from her scratching) and, in 24 hour hours, she was a different dog....
THIS is Sadie now
Aww!! This post made me really sad because of all the money you are having to spend on Sadie! I know that wasn't your intent, but it still makes me sad. Though I am glad she is now feeling better.
