Flea, tick and wormer combinationQ: I have in the past given my dog a chewable pill from a vet that is to control fleas, ticks and worms. i can't remember the name of the product but i think it was through advantage. could you tell me if there is still such a product or a newer product available now with the same effectiveness. it worked very well. and also, is it necessary to give it to her all year long or just during the summer months? A: Program is an over the counter oral treatment for fleas. it kills flea eggs and larvae and stops flea development.|

Heart problems and over weight - caughQ: My 12 year old pom has heart problems and takes meds. he also has a cough or sometimes a sqeekie sound which lasts until he gags. this happens when he has been sleeping or when i have been holding him and put him down. sometimes at night i hear him. he also seems to have a weekness on his left side at times. i took him to the vet about a month ago because he seemed to loose control and stiffen or maybe fainted for a second. my vet said just to watch him and keep him on the anaprilin (spelling). of course he did not cough while at the vet and seemed just fine and happy. he's always is a happy little guy. he weights 12 lbs. and should loose weight but he eats very little. i walk him twice a day for about 10 or 15 minutes each time. i hope you can understand my questions. A: Your pet's symptoms may not be due to heart disease but also could possibly be due to something called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease otherwise known as copd. some dogs have both conditions. if your vet is not aware of this, then maybe seek out a second opinion as both are treated with different meds.
