A Dog question can anyone help?

[chickenman101]

i have a dog thats has been bothered by fleas pretty bad. today i gave her a flea dip with happy jacks flea dip. it seemed to help a little but shes still scratching. i then found a small tube of advantage 55 flea control i forgot i had. would it be safe to go ahead and put it on her along with the dip she just had or should i wait a few days just be safe. i just dont wont to get her sick. any help is appreciated.

how old is she?

Yep I'd wait a few days then bathe her again, THEN put the Advantage on her. Never mix !!!

fleas and ticks have been bad here in mid-tenn as well, hate them more than rattle snakes

i also cant keep her from licking herself after i diiped her. is this bad?

I would leave her be. That Happy Jacks is some good stuff. Thats all I use on my pugs. They will scratch for a few days because the old bites still itch.

Someone brought me 3 dogs here while back completely balled with mange. An the owner had given up on curing them. After 2 dips in that happy Jacks stuff they were growing hair.

ok thanks, i just got worried because she was licking herself then she was just laying around like she was sick but she might have just been mad cause i bathed her. and also i used to have a pug that loved protecting my chickens, i guess you could call him their body guard. unfortunately he tried fighting a coyote and lost his life but he did his job because he kept that coyote in the yard long enough for me to blow his head off, im going to miss that little giant

Thats the bulldog mind set they have in them. Nothing funnier than seeing my 6, 7 week old pug puppies trying to take down a full sized horse.
The 2 I have left has taken up sleeping on the back porch using a young hen as a pillow.
