My dog was bitten by a tick and is mildly anemic. It already took a babesia drug, doxycycline, and iron today—can it also take NexGard Spectra (Chao Ke Xin) tonight?
Don't give NexGard Spectra and the babesia drug together; the babesia drug treats blood parasites, and the vet's prescription suggests confirmed canine babesiosis. Taking NexGard Spectra then can lower blood pressure and cause reactions. Wait until the dog recovers, then use it for prevention, or follow the vet's advice.

My cat conceived before the New Year; bleeding below since yesterday, sticky today. Is it giving birth? What do I do?
