[nagdu] Flea Preventitaves

[Karyn & Thane]

You want to be careful when adding ACV (apple cider vinegar) to drinking 
water. Perhaps take a taste yourself- I did and its nasty vbg
They now recommend that you provide water free of ACV along with the ACV 
water if you add it to water and dont use more than a capful in a large 
bowl- ie 2-3 quart bowl

I think (and she'll correct me if I am wrong) Debbie meant that she bathed 
Leone and gave her comfortis, not that she bathed in Comfortis. Comfortis is 
an oral flea medication. If you are in the USA though, your vet can fax an 
RX to some of the legit online pharmacies. I'll have to check some notes I 
have but there is a certain label that will appear on the website if they 
follow all FDA guidelines as far as not selling out of date products, 
pulling recalled, and not selling bundles of things about to expire.
I use capstar because Thane doesn't tolerate comfortis and he also has one 
of their precautions so its best to just tackle them when its an issue since 
I dont live in the south where they are more of a problem
Capstar and Program even are very old school so those will require online 
shopping, but having capstar on hand while working through a flea outbreak 
can sometimes be worthwhile so you might talk to your vet and novartis about 
it.
My vet made contact on my behalf for Thane so we could be absolutely sure it 
was OK for him. Sometimes vets can get additional concerns answered from 
manufacturers that the manufacturer might not be so eager to share with 
individual endusers.
