One flea, Brianna? That totally stinks! How can you possibly avoid having that happen again? Particularly when the other pets go outside??.

yeah, I'll PM 'vana first, too!

nobody else looks like they have fleas and they aren't scratching - and I certainly don't see any fleas around the house or in cushions, etc. Poor Carly, though. She really suffers with them - gets all allergic. But, honestly, an oral AND topical AND ear RX??? Isn't that massive overkill?? I don't know anything about animal medicine but it just seems like a hell of a lot of Rx. And it's difficult to talk her into taking it - esp. the ear medicine. She puts her ears back and all but shuts them!

Yes, I've seen our vet bills increase over the years. My dogs have always been relatively healthy but I do take them in for an annual exam. Texas passed a law that dogs only need a Rabies re-vaccination every 3 years so I've noticed that all the other costs of the exam have gone up to make up for the loss of revenue.
