Crits'N'Bits Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Probably a long shot, but wondering whether any dog/cat owners here have experienced adverse reactions to flea treatment. We lost our lovely NF cat today - and at a loss to know why. It was so quick. Vet thinks maybe a blood clot due to bruising over her body. She went very suddenly - abit off color yesterday but still eating. This morning very lethargic and unwell. Straight into vet by 8:30. She responded to IV fluids then suddenly crashed - and it was all over. The only thing we can really think of that could be connected was that we had treated them all with Advocate on Monday. (We usually use Advantage - and never had a reaction). Would be interested to hear if anyone has had reactions to treatments .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not with advocate but one of my dogs reacts badly to Advantix. It seems to oversensitize her skin to the point that she snaps and snarls if the other dog touches her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crits'N'Bits Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 thats abit scary KC .. I dread to think what we are putting on our animals My vet is recommending we change over to Comfortis as he says there seems to be less chance of reactions. I hate all these chemicals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The bruising .... couple of wild guesses here ... some access to a mouse/rat poison resulting in internal bleeding ? is thee any chance she was attacked/beaten up badly by cat/dog ..or could she have gotten stuck somewhere and had to work at getting out ?

Crits'N'Bits Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 perse .. no ... she was an indoor cat mostly. we only let her outside when we were with her - and even then she would hang around the house area. the neighbour does put out fox baits - but it would be almost impossible for her to have picked up one - and I think they act pretty much instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 So sorry to hear of your loss Panto had severe gastro aftrr trying frontline for the first time. I am hesitant to try it on her again, as i cant pinpoint any other changes we made and considering there wasnt anything she could have got into.

sandgrubber Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Pyretheroids caused one of my dogs to have seizures....almost killed her. She licked off a spot on product applied to the back of another dog. <div><br></div> Edited August 31, 2013 by sandgrubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Very sorry to hear One of my cats had an unpleasant reaction to Revolution (active ingredient selamectin). Very lethargic and dopey - not interested in eating. Recovered within 12 hours but I haven't treated them since. I think my vet suggested Advantage as well.
