It's very hard to guage exactly how much to give and can be deadly if you overdose it. I wouldn't do it myself unless I had experience with the different medications and giving my own shots. I'd never use pills for dewormer. Have you tested for heartworms? I wouldn't wear that flea collar if I were you, you'll end up with some sort of infectious ring around your neck. Take a day outside of the home, pets in tow, and flea bomb the house. Spray the yard as well. Then bathe the animals who can be given flea baths before they reenter the home. That should do the trick for most of the fleas.

I was totally joking about wearing the flea collar lol
Flea bombing the home wont work all that well, as I live in an apartment building & I cannot take my fish out for that long, nor my turtle as hes a protected species & I don't need more cops or the SPCA hounding me, then I have to educate them, then they'll learn I'm within the laws.. its never any fun at all, & I don't actually have a yard.

I'm positive there'll be fleas around for as long as I stay here, I just want to keep them mostly at bay.

But the whole point of my thread was to remind people about the dangers of Hartz products.
