Re: Fleas?
Not all flea shampoo's, ear cleaners etc are created equal. If she has had reactions in the past, call you vet and ask for a recommendation for produts that most likely will not cause reactions.

Re: When to neuter?
Sarah 83, vet clinics can be bad places too,( how else would I have wound up with 5 dogs. :roll: ) Like you, I see many that there just aren't homes for, and the owner can "save money" cause it is cheaper to have them euthanized than it is to pay the fee at the shelters to turn your dog ov...
