Is it safe to give flea medicine to a dog with stitches and on antibiotics?

Giving her the flea medication should not pose any issues if she is on antibiotics. You can wait about 2-3 hours after giving her the antibiotics before administering the flea medication (if it is oral) to be completely safe. That way, the antibiotics should be out of her stomach.

Most oral flea preventatives are safe to give along with topicals, but it would help to know exactly what the oral medication was and when medications were given. You may want to ask your veterinarian what flea product they would recommend in your area - in some areas fleas could be resistant to the medications. You also may need to treat your home - calling a pest control company is safest.

It should be fine to apply flea medication. Flea medication is very different from the other medications and I don't know of a flea medication that would interact negatively with the antibiotics and topical medication. However, I am hesitant to fully recommend applying the flea treatment without your vet's recommendation, because there may be a reason why they didn't already recommend it. I recommend calling your vet to make sure this is OK before applying the medication. They should be happy to answer a quick question like this. I hope that helps and Freddy gets better soon.

Oh no, I'm sorry Koda has fleas! It is safe to give him his new flea medication now, and keep in mind you need to disinfect the environment as well to kill all the fleas. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.

You should check with your vets office first what has been used as some products take up to 48hours to kill fleas (these are normally slower moving than healthy fleas!) You may also see freshly hatched fleas jump on your dog before they are killed by the medication until the household spray has a chance to work also. I would not use any spray within two inches of the surgical wound and would be cautious that it may interact with what has already been given by your vet also

Yes they can have both at the same time. The "flea supplement" is not something I would recommend you give though. Fleas are extremely resistant and "natural" products are usually ineffective. They have no clinical trials or testing done on them and there is no ingredient in that product that makes sense to me as to how it would work to repel fleas. I think it is a waste of your money but it should not be harmful to give both products.

It would be helpful to know what specific type of flea medication is was, since different brands have different active ingredients. But in general, if he only ate a single dose, I would not expect this to cause any serious problems - these medications typically have a wide margin of safety, even if they are ingested rather than applied topically. You may see some mild stomach upset, but I would not expect any serious toxicity issues. To be safe, you should monitor for any neurologic issues such as muscle tremors or seizures, and take Oscar to the vet right away if he is acting abnormal.
