Title: I've just applied Billy's frontline for 1st time
Post by: Rosella moggy on May 18, 2007, 17:47:20 PM

Just spent 1/2 hour getting Billy to agree to a grooming and whilst he was enjoying it I grabbed the poor little beggar and shoved him into to top opening cat carrier, sustaining usual injuries. I rang vet and asked if someone could apply the frontline as usual if I whisked him up there (need more frontline anyway) but seems they are just too busy (go figure, would have taken someone 10 secs?) anyway that meant I HAD to do it myself and

I DID IT DESPITE MY LITTLE FIGHTER   :boxer:

Am now sorting out antisceptic wipes for my injuries but feel like I've achieved something.

Congrats Rosella!  :1st place:

Would you save injuries doing it while your grooming? A mean trick hee hee   :shify:

Thanks Milly's Mum. I feel quite proud of myself. 

Whenever I apply frontline, it takes about 3 squirts to get it all out the pipette. I've just assumed that I stood no chance of squirting 2nd and 3rd time, unless he is hemmed in somehow, so would only get to apply just over say half of contents of pipette . If only I could get to explain the reasons why he needs to have flea treatment to him, I know he would play ball as he is such a sensible little fella but, wadda ya dooo?  He doesn't attack; just panics poor lad.

Vet of course just grabs him by the scruff of the neck and Billy melts into submission but not with me lol

They must smell it !!!

I can be stroking them but the min i go near them with the opened frontline in my hand they go mad.
I am sure most of it goes all over their fur rather than on their necks
