Replied on 04/19/2011Flea shampoos can be very harsh and drying to dog's skin. It is generally not recommended to use any shampoo more than once weekly, but harsher shampoos like flea shampoo should ideally be used not more than once every other week. If your dog has a flea problem that necessitates more treatment than this, you should talk to your veterinarian about appropriate alternatives for your puppy that will be both safe for a young dog and gentle for his or her coat. If your puppy is old enough you should consider using a safe spot on topical product such as Frontline or Advantage. Erika, DVM

What should I do for my dog hip muscle injury?
My 8 month old labradoodle got hit by a slow moving car 3 weeks ago. She seemed fine, but I took her to the vet immediately for a thorough exam w/ a diagnosis of a muscle strain or bruise in her hip. She subscribed anti-inflammatory medication for 3 days. After two days of minimal exercise, she had almost no more limp. Over the past three weeks, she generally has no limp, but 2-3x/week over extends herself at the dog park & ends up limping. I have not limited her activity -she is crazy w/o it.
