Spot on

Hey everyone

Just need some advice regarding spot on. I was given spot on by my vet last month as i noticed she was scratching her ears a bit more. Bella had her first dose and all was fine and the ear scratching has calmed down. However now she is due another but Archie is with her and i'm really worried when he grooms her he will consume some of the substance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? As they both groom each other a lot and i don't want Archie to become ill.

Many thanks in advance!

You'll need to separate them until the spot on has dried.

Thanks Jane, i thought i might have to although i really don't want to separate them as they are very newly bonded. I think i might take her back to the vet and get her ears checked again. Are there any sort of drops they could give me instead?
She doesn't seem to be bothered by her ears any more but i don't want it to come back.
Thank again:)
