Oxydex shampoo & advantage flea controlQ: We have to shampoo our small dog with oxydex at least one time per week for control of demodex. does this remove the protection of the advantage we use on him? we also have to give him a small amount of liquid ivermectin every other day. our vet said since he is on that, he does not need heartguard. true? do you also carry that product? thank you.

Hair lossQ: Our choc. lab has minor hair loss around his eyes with a small spot of scabbing/abrasions. he also exhibits a small amount of hair loss on the knuckles, not sure if this is in relation to the eyes. he is an indoor dog that does not dig or rub on concrete. i know cats can exhibit the hairloss around the eyes due to parasite's. would this be the same with dogs? or can dogs have allergies? he seems to sneeze a good bit at times, nothing continually, rub at his face and have a very wet nose. thanks for your time and consideration. A: Sounds more like allergies to me. i would try oral benadryl at dose of 1/2 to 1 mg per pound twice daily as well as add brite coat xs and prozyme to each meal from 1800petmeds which can help skin long term. but should have allergy workup at vet
