Hi all! I am excited to share that I am about 5 weeks pregnant with our first child.

BUT .... I really had no idea how much I would worry already about everything. Yesterday my dog was due for Advantix flea/tick topical preventative. I had my husband apply the medicine and I was careful not to touch the wet spots, but I have pet the dog on his head, etc. a bit since then.

Now I am freaking out and wondering if it is safe to be around the dog at all since the medicine gets absorbed into his body and is effective for a full month.

I don't go back to my ob for another week and a half so in the meantime, does anyone know anything about this? I feel so bad ignoring the dog and shutting him out of my room.
