I do not see the point of ticks and fleas in the evolutionary grand scheme of things.

No! but the chemical companies do, providing them with some Flea Enterprise  ph34r

Dylan had Nexgard spectra tabs, and no adverse effects. Out vet has now switched to Simparica, again he seems OK on that. We used to use one that began with A, I forget the name, but it made him itchy, ditto on our last cocker Milo. I prefer the tabs to the spot treatment for that reason.
Ticks are the problem here, but a flea infestation must be awful, we only ever get an odd 🤞. I do not see the point of ticks and fleas in the evolutionary grand scheme of things.

He's coping quite well with the cone, but has no sense of spatial awareness with it, and just batters his way around the house (and our legs!). As a great sniffer he's hoovering up the moss on the patio with the edge of the cone  :005:

It certainly is easier said than done, I have lost a couple of dogs through illness (not at the same time). When this happens you question everything you thought you ever knew. I believe it is part of the grieving process and hopefully with time, love and support,  you will feel more confident and able to enjoy Molly.  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: :luv:

Min

With my worrying with Olllie last few years - Harry came with be being so worried about what ifs etc.  I question what I feed him, where I walked him, flea and tick - all became so problematic.

While I didn't see this - I was suddenly made aware of this by the nurse at my vets....who firmly told me to just enjoy my puppy and stop worrying.

Easier said than done :005:

Thanks all for the feedback....just to add Harry's groomer uses spot on and said on one occasion she saw a couple on one of her 3 dogs and bought Nexgard for them them next month went back to spot on...an idea but unlike her only one Harry and 3 tablets in pack.  Did think that maybe use through spring summer and then do spot on rest of the year.

It certainly is an idea about the spray Jayne. I found the EU data on Nexgard and it wasn't too worrying - why do we not print data like that  >:D Vixien thank you for your reply. Still conflict.  I have always used Advantix spot on, but vets don't stock it and even with a prescription it is pricey, so I get it from French vet company.

Thank you for your good wishes....this has come as a real shock but I just have to get on with it.

You are such a fantastic punch on here :luv:
