Danger of too strong medicationQ: Hi doctor, i am very glad to see this catagory added. i got my 15 lb. cat from a petsmart and plan to keep him indoors. the ladies there told me that advantage and frontline was way too strong in their opinion and could cause seizures or worse. they said applying a topical once every 3 months (a dab) behind the neck is sufficient. all of the meds i see seem to require the entire tube, as often as once a month! what product are they recommending that is milder that only has to be applied every 3 months? also, the prices here seem to be higher than the stores' brands. A: I dont think products over the counter are safer than front line or advantage. i would stick with those. either is fine. frontline can be applied every 3 months in indoor cats for flea prevention

I can't identify themQ: Recently my male cat has lost a lot of weight, and today i saw a short white worm hanging from his tail that was about the length of my pinky nail. i've looked all over and can't figure out what it is. what is it and what should i use to treat it? A: You could bring a stool sample to your veterinarian for a positive id of the type of worm. you can also use a broad spectrum wormer such as panacur-c. this product is given once a day, based on the weight of the pet, for 3 consecutive days.

FrontlineQ: I didn't use all the frontline last year how long is it good for beyond expiration date? A: Medications do not suddenly cease to work once they reach their expiration date. rather, the expiration date is the date beyond which the medicine begins to loose effectiveness and there can be no guarantee that the product will work as expected. as a pharmacist, i have to advise you that no medicine should be used beyond it's expiration date because of this potential lack of effectiveness..
