My dog doesnt stop scratching after i bathe him in flea soap. I've tried dishwashing detergent a few weeks ago, also store bought flea shampoo.

He uses front line plus and K9-advantix dont seem to work. yes i put it on his scalp and i dont bathe him afterwards. I also put on a flea collar a few days ago... i bathe him once a week, he is a shih tzu

I already flea bombed the whole house a few times in the last few months(i found some fleas on me last week)

so the question is, do i assume it is not fleas that he is sratching b/c he still scratches after i bathe him?

i have already started switching his food to non-corn..... btw he is 10 months old.

oscar issues-?

My 13 inch albino oscar has had HITH for 1.5 yeas. He has a 60 gallon tank to share with an algae eater. I do partial water changes every week and have 2 dual filters running.

Has anyone really cured HITH?

**PLEASE do not send me a link. I want to hear if you personally cured it and HOW. I've use antibiotics, have been using multivitamins with his food, never use feeders.

I just adopted a stray dog, and I can't get her to eat, drink, or use the bathroom when I take her outside.

I just adopted a 1 year old hound and I am uncertain how to get her to do these things. She was rescued off the highway by someone else, and it is suspected she was mistreated. She is very nervous, and only likes to lay on the couch. She likes having me around and loves to be petted, but not much else. I take her outside on a leash to see if she will use the bathroom, and she won't. As soon as we come back inside she squats to go to the bathroom. She also has eaten very little and is not drinking water. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Will a neutered German Shepherd Dog be less of a protection dog than if I did not neuter him?

I want to neuter him because 1. I don't plan to breed him and 2. I don't want him to start lifting his leg to pee. But since I wanted him to go through obedience and maybe protection training, I was wondering if her would not be as good in protection. I don't want him aggressive but I don't want him to be a punk, either. Lol. I just want him to be able to properly protect if NEEDED.

flea question again...?

I asked the question about fleas the other day. I was wondering, if a couple of people are in the same area and fleas are around, will they ALL get bit or are fleas just attracted to certain people?? I have a million bites and my husband doesn't. My mom has a dog in her house and my sister has a dog in her house too. Though they rarely go outdoors. But mom has cats AND dogs outside her house and under her house and on her porch. BUT, I am the ONLY one who is getting bit by these things!! Why?? I feel like a dog or cat myself, and that I need a damn flea collar!By the way, thanks to everyone who answered my last flea question!I have done what everyone said to do this week. I went to my mom's last night and this morning I woke up with a 100 more bites in the same places around my ankles!!So I'm starting to think that these things are hitching a ride on me at my mom's and I'm carrying them back to my house and THAT'S where they are coming from! BUT my mom or sis have NO bites at all.Help!
