I put it on Runza once and he laid up against the furniture and now, I have permanent Runza fur indentations in the wood.Lisa and pupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475778692834656836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230259592372459723.post-91919811942959337392009-05-28T19:26:06.084-06:002009-05-28T19:26:06.084-06:00those of us in high flea areas (like California) u...those of us in high flea areas (like California) use advantage every month, but other places, like Utah, don't have the flea problems we do and so don't need to use flea control unless traveling.<br /><br />I've never seen a dog turn quite that, well, blue, but have seen discolorations from advantage that disappear once the stuff dries. Sometimes it can take a few days even. I read through the advantage info packet and didn't see anything helpful in this case, nor did google prove to be of much use, other than when I tried searching for "advantage fur coloration" and got some rather interesting results... I would call the vet if he starts to break out, or maybe just for piece of mind? Supposedly the advantage is adsorbed by the hair follicles and not into the dog's system so whatever it is, he should be ok in the long run.<br /><br />Enjoy Graduation, and congratulations! If our puppy group makes it up to Camp this summer I hope to see you there!Mandy and Supremehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793661080054293909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230259592372459723.post-38499555647476618942009-05-28T17:56:23.847-06:002009-05-28T17:56:23.847-06:00Have a great trip and time at Sherman's graduation...Have a great trip and time at Sherman's graduation! No clue on the advantage... we used it for a summer a year or 2 ago when the local prairie dogs were carrying plague infected fleas. Dogs can't get the plague, but people can, so it was to protect us. But I have never actually seen a flea here anyway. So sorry, no help on that one! Let us know though, I'm curious! Maybe it was a reaction with his shampoo or something?Emily and the Labradorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153115138466422821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230259592372459723.post-72384921084136477612009-05-28T16:50:57.079-06:002009-05-28T16:50:57.079-06:00In New Zealand, we have to give our guide dogs fle...In New Zealand, we have to give our guide dogs flea treatment every month of the year. We use either Advantage or Frontline and never have I had that reaction. Can you call the actual Advantage company and see if this is normal before calling your vet?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586085063333440933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230259592372459723.post-45687097986039122952009-05-28T15:38:36.189-06:002009-05-28T15:38:36.189-06:00Wow, I was actually considering going to that grad...Wow, I was actually considering going to that graduation. Maybe I'll see you there?<br /><br />That is really weird. Maybe just wait for it to dry?
