Fleas

This probably doesn't qualify as a topic here but I am having a terrible time with fleas (and my handicapped dog has a terrible time as he can't even itch very well!). I have tried Frontline, Frontline plus, K9 Advantex, Revolution (from the vet) and various other store brands and NOTHING has worked...

I'd wanted to reuse thermoplastic from human splints, but it was impossible to get a supply. I've n...

I didn't have the $$$ to take him to physical therapy (and I don't think that there is even a facilit...
