Nice and all, but why get a pet if you can't even afford to pay attention?

What? What makes you think I am not paying attention?

i just spent 450 bucks on our dog's checkup last night, shit is not cheap. if you got ticks in your bed, you should wash all your sheets, vacuum all your floors, wash your dog, and get him/her some frontline or other type of flea/tick repellent ASAP

If you have a vet appt today I would suggest waiting on any type of home treatment.

I just got a new puppy from some lowlifes last week that were going to put him in the pound. I did not give him any frontline or anything else prior to his vet appt and the vet was happy that I refrained from self treating.

Not treating the puppy myself allowed the vet to treat him as he saw fit, which ended up being a prescription strength pill that killed ALL fleas on him within 4 hours and keeps killing them until his next appointment (in 2 more weeks now) At that time we'll decide on what options to go with for fleas, ticks, heartworm, etc - which will depend on lifestyle (walking, hiking, etc)

The vet said that had I treated him with Frontline or any of the other over the counter meds you can buy, it would have limited his tx options

The city is really nice in the fact that if you adopt a pup from them, you have one week to make an appointment at participating Vet offices for a free appointment. Any treatment required at this first appointment is free. So while she will require a lot of treatment (she's pooping worms, has ticks, runny nose), it won't cost me a thing.

This was my thought, too. I could have gone out for tick soap and what not but I figured the doc should diagnose first. Her appointment is in about four hours, I'm excited to get her better.



As a side note, I am so impressed with how happy of a pup she is with all these ailments! She's super outgoing, happy, and excited despite having worms coming out of her butt and blood sucking vermin on her skin. She's da best.

She's adorable. Her name is Akita and she's a three year old chihuahua / terrier mix. Thankfully, she looks more terrier than chihuahua. She's a pound puppy that was found as a stray. It seems as if she's already housetrained, which is pretty awesome.

Although this photo was taken the night before Akita arrived, it still pretty much sums up my cats reaction.

Vet prices are outrageous. My dog got a fish hook stuck through he cheek. End up costing me like 200-300 dollars because they sedated her, then she started crashing so they had to use another medicine to un-sedate her, ect ect. knew i should have just taken it out myself, they almost killed her.
