I can not use any of the flea control medications that come in a tube and you break and squeeze it between their shoulder blades, Emiliano would go into anxiety, pacing round and round, and into rapid heart beats. The vet changed him to a pill and he can take that (if I can get him to swallow it) without a problem.

The fleas are immune to Frontline Plus here which I found out the hard way a few years ago. I have tried Comfortis which worked, but the dogs were still itchy because the fleas have to bite first before they die. I tried the natural route with DE and found fleas. The vet gave me Vectra 3D but our Rico must be sensitive to it because he is very restless after I put it on until I give him a bath. He doesn't sleep at night, won't go under his blankets, etc. The other two are fine with it. The vet gave me Advantage to try with Rico but he still was restless, just not as bad. As soon as I gave him a bath(I waited 2 days) he relaxed and was himself. I hate to use these chemicals but will not have fleas in the house either! Have any of you seen this sensitivity in your dogs? I may have to go back to the Comfortis. Ugh, Sue
