A Rat's Tale

Poor Sable has been loosing her hair in spots and most notably on her tail. The vet says it might be thyroid issues but I haven't heard yet. I'm thinking the hair loss started soon after I started using Frontline oil for flea prevention. Anyone have similar issues? At any rate, her spirits are high so she seems to feel good. It's time for fall grooming so maybe it will be less noticeable.

Where did you apply the oil? To be honest that looks more like Eczema to me. Check out the symptons and treatment on the internet, and get well soon Sable!; November 1, 2012 at 7:58 AM

Anonymous said...: No problems with Frontline here, have used it for years. In fact, accept for one time, I think it's the only one I've used for 10 years. Is that possible?

How it clears up - maybe there's something new in the park water?; November 5, 2012 at 2:16 AM

Hope you get better soon Sable.; November 7, 2012 at 1:44 AM
