nasher1 258 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 When I had the pup jabbed at eight weeks the vet gave me a free shot of frontline for her , used it and 8 weeks later she's got fleas and ticks so back to the vets and get more frontline for the whole pack about £70, I dosed em all that was 2 weeks ago, checked em over yesterday they have ticks again, so im going back to the vets on monday as im a bit pi**ed off, I just wondered if anyones had a similar experience with frontline or any other medication because I rekon this stuffs fake, another thing which is worrying me is my bull got a bit cut up a couple off weeks ago and I got some antibiotics from the same vets and the wounds dont seem to be clearing up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bezza Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Maybe the ticks will drop off after a feed of blood containing Frontline gets into their system. It's bound to take a while to kill them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hedge_hunter27 18 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I imagine you would be pretty peeed off spending that amount of money, I would be fuming . My dogs are regularly bathed in Vetzyme JDS Insecticidal Dog Shampoo, a couple of quid from a local pet shop. My terrier had a couple of fleas on him this year and that is the first time he has ever had them, not bad considering he is coming up 9, I gave him a bath with the shampoo and they were gone.

Gin 498 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Frontline is all we use, and its been perfect everytime. It has to go on the skin. That is the type your using isn't it. Its the best stuff we have ever found to work. What do you mean by "dosed them" with it. Edited June 27, 2009 by Gin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stormrider8 59 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Works without fail for mine. Maybe a dodgy batch or something. Buy it online its much cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Catcher 1 639 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Frontline has allways worked well for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil r 1,836 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 me and my brother use it and never had a problem with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nasher1 258 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have never had a problem with it before, but it seems strange this is the first time I have had a problem with it and you hear so many stories of fake meds for people why wouldnt they fake frontline the price it is theres got to be money in it, also where do you get it online from as the vets in question were bought out last month by another company and the prices have gone through the roof.

Wanna be farmer 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Go to your local CWG (central wool growers), the one near me my cousin's the manager of it and he get's me a pack of three pipette things and there's 15 ml in each, with his discount i can get it for £13. My ferret has a seriouse tick problem from when i went out feretting the other day. I haven't used the frontline yet. I used Johnsons insecticidal shampoo, and it has killed most of the ticks, there's just a few left on her. I am going to bath her again with it in a while, then they should all drop off of her. I will use Frontline next time she gets ticks, but i recomend that Johnsons insecticidal shampoo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're going to use frontline on ferrets make sure you use the kitten doseage, dog stuff is far to strong...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
