| Frontline causes seizures Beware of Frontline for Yorkies. It causes seizures after three or four months of use. Our little Yorkie had epilepsy, we thought, until we stopped using Frontline, and he hasn't had a seizure since. A little Frontline caused a little seizure; a regular amount caused three seizures. But it builds up in the system. The first three or four months, there was no problem, but afterwards, it was a disaster. Don'e use barbituates. Stop the Frontline. |

| A dog can have a allergic reaction or bad reaction to anything just like people. You have to use something for fleas and ticks because even the so called natural remedy's can be harmful or even worse for your dog. I'm sorry this happened to your dog. But they have to have some kind of protection.

| I am glad your little Yorkie is doing better and that you were able to pinpoint the problem I hate using Frontline too and use it as little as possible. My poor Teddy, none of the preventatives seem to agree with him. I don't know what I am going to do with him this coming summer. I had never seen a flea in my life up until 2 years ago. All it takes is a couple to cause a bad reaction in some pups.

| I am glad that your baby is better. We have been using Frontline here for many years. However we only use it if we are going out of town. So the grand total would be 2,3 times a year tops. |

| My dog has epilepsy and has been on frontline for all of his five years of life. He takes anticonvulsant medication and barely ever has seizures. He has never had any neurological event after using frontline. Oh, and his very respected neurologist has no problem with him using frontline. So your contention that frontline causes epilepsy just untrue.
