Anyone have any experience with this to know if just 3 weeks of Doxycycline is ever enough??? He is on 500 mg. a day. Vet plans a 3 week treatment. B. Anyone else have the Frontline Plus fail??? I, coming from AZ, have had a LOT of experience with Erlichia (Tick Fever). NEVER has 3 weeks been enough. The MINIMUM treatment period is 3 MONTHS and then retest. Unfortunately some dogs remain on Doxy for life. I have treated more than one elderly dog and have had them recover fully. I don't use Frontline as I have never had success with it. I have gotten countless dogs into grooming that were on Frontline and still had ticks.
