Chewie is afraid of his flea preventive!

[Laura & Chewie]

The last couple months I have had the most difficult time applying the Frontline Plus on Chewie.  He's never been thrilled with it...has been challenging, but I always managed.  The last two months, he runs when I come anywhere near him with it.  The only thing that has worked, is elevating him (on the washing machine with a non-skid rug under him) and using treats.  Even still, the minute he feels it on him, he is not happy, but with some additional treats, I am able to apply the rest of it...I always said, he'll do anything for a treat!

 

I'm not getting the impression it hurts/burns him and he is perfectly fine as soon as I put him down...just seems fearful for some reason.  H acted in a similar way recently when he got a shot (vaccines) at the vet.  He wanted nothing to do with it while on the floor and someone bending over him, but once they put him on the exam table, he did much better.

 

Anyone else's dood act this way with their flea/tick preventive?

I know there was a discussion about Comfortus a little while back. You may want to search it in the forum. Good luck!
