MY QUESTION, ESPECIALLY HAVING
A VERY HEAVILY CODED DOG, WHICH
DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR FLEET
CONTROL AND AN INTERNAL FEEL
LIKE TO TAKE OR THE DROPS THAT
YOU PUT ON THEIR BACKS.
>> THIS IS SO HARD.
>> FLEAS ARE VICIOUS.
EVERY NOW AND AGAIN WITH THE
COLD SPELL THEY MAY GO DORMANT.
>> IN HOUSTON, WE HAVE A YEAR-
ROUND FLEA PROBLEM.
I TELL ALL OF MY CLIENTS WITH
OUR PATIENTS, TREAT THEM EVERY
MONTH.
MONTH.
MONTH. OUR BEST RECOMMENDATION IS A
GROWTH HOMEGROWN REGULATOR.
WHAT IT DOES IS IT LITERALLY
STERILIZES THE FLEAS SO THEY
CANNOT REPRODUCE.
CANNOT REPRODUCE. YOU ARE PREVENTING FLEAS VERSUS
TREATING.
TREATING.
TREATING. THAT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN
DO BECAUSE THE ONES YOU SEE ARE
THE ONE THINGS.

JUMPING ON THEM.
PERFECTO IS GREAT.
IT LAST FOR THREE MONTHS AT A
TIME.

PARASITES.
PARASITES. SOME OF THE PARASITES CAN BE
CONTAGIOUS TO PEOPLE.
THE BEST THING TO DO IS MAKE
SURE THEY ARE ON A GOOD
PREVENTATIVE FOR ALL THE THINGS

HAVE AN INJURY, WE KNOW WHEN TO
TAKE THEM DIRECTLY TO THE PET.

TO TAKE THEM TO THE VET TO MAKE
SURE IT IS NOT SOMETHING MORE
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS. WE SEE A LOT OF ESPECIALLY DOGS
WILL HAVE LIGAMENT INJURIES.
SO, IT MAY JUST BE A SIMPLE
SPRAIN.
SPRAIN.
SPRAIN. KEEPING THEM CONFINED AND
RESTED UNTIL YOU CAN GET THEM
TO THE VETERINARIAN WILL BE THE
BEST THING AND THEY MAY
PRESCRIBE ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES.
PRESCRIBE ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES. BUT YOU WANT TO RULE OUT ANY
MORE MAJOR SERIOUS ISSUES
FIRST.

PROBLEM IS THE MOTION.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DRUGS YOU
CAN GET FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN.
EVEN OVER-THE-COUNTER MOTION
SICKNESS MEDICINE WORKS.
YOU HAVE TO DOSE IT DEPENDING
ON THE DOGS WEIGHT.
>> I KNOW YOUR DOG IS ONE OF
YOUR BEST FRIENDS.
