put doggie boots on him (them) to keep their feet out of grass.
it taked a few times for them to get used to them, but they do... just keep them off the linoleumits a little slippy.

My dad started giving his dog vitamins for dogs and it took care of her hot spots. I agree with the booties, too.
Get rid of the Frontline if it's not working, Tulip. It's only making the fleas more resistant. (I use Advantage. Works great, but not for ticks. We rarely find ticks, though.)

Even Advantage appears to not be working here. We switched to that after giving up on Frontline. So far, Revolution and Comfortis are still working. The fleas seem to be adapting more quickly than we are. Back when FL first came out - put it on, and don't see a flea for 3 mos.

We recently went through this with Maeve and Fiona, the grown goldens. Took Fiona to the vet because she was really suffering.
Turns out that it was allergies to the flea bites. I don't like putting chemicals on the girls, so I haven't been using the K-9 Advantix that the vet prescribed. Well, all three got dosed with with as soon as Brian brought Fiona home from the vet. The vet said to use it every 3 weeks during the summer months instead of once a month. In any case, the itching has decreased significantly since we applied the Advantix. No new hot spots and the ones they had are healing. They are much, much more comfortable.
AdvanTIX is much better than Advantage, by the way. They've had ticks, too, and I've removed two attached ticks from myself this summer.

I spoke with our vet last night and she's putting Katy on chlorpheniramine starting today and we are also going to try a prescription anti-itch shampoo. Wearing booties is an interesting idea. She generally does not like it (we put them on her for winter hiking) but she tolerates it.

The problem with Vaseline is the dogs (or cats) lick it off, which is not so good for their digestive system... it is "petroleum" jelly after all.
better to work with the booties... the pooch will get used to them. I still remember my greyhound the 1st few times she wore them - bless her heart, I never laughed so hard in my life. This beautifully elegant creature walking like a clown in big clown shoes![]()
Good luck with your pooch!
