    Gerald has had three rounds of Advocate spot-on now to address the balding of his flanks. It was slightly more than two months ago that I noticed Gerald’s fur “turning white” at his flanks. I was really worried as I thought that might be indicative of a life-threatening illness. So I quickly took him to…
