Flea and tick medicine My 14 year old Yorkie has bad reactions to the flea and tick medicines. I have tried several of them, and they make her extremely nervous, tremors, vomiting, loosing her balance, etc. I took her to the vet, and her blood panel is fine. All the vet says is “we will report this to the company.” I feel like this stuff is poisoning her. Presently, I put her on revolution because she couldn’t handle nextguard. Has anyone tried a holistic vet, or a natural product. I pulled off an intact encouraged dog tick off her two weeks ago. I put revolution on her last week, she is finally calming down from it, but I am worried about it. She weighs about 6.9 lbs. the product is for 5.1 to 10 lb dogs. So, she is getting a lot of product in the dose. Please advise |
You can try holistic but you can not go holistic for heart worms you must give a heart worm medicine. |
Flea and tick medicine Thanks, yes I would definitely make sure to give the heart worm medicine. |
My Cali is 3.8 pounds And we use Revolution every month with no problems. She has used it for 8 years with no issues. Hope it helps your pup,too. |
Flea and tick It seems like since she has gotten older, she does not tolerate it as well. |

We use Seresto collars for our boys and they work amazing, no side effects, no goo on their necks/backs, 1 collar last 8 months. The rest of my family has made the switch from topicals to Seresto collars and love it. Was recommended by my vet, it's what she uses on for dog. |

mine are 11 and 12 pounds but the collars are very adjustable. we have used them since they were around 4.5-5 lbs |
I have 4 pets,2cats and 2 dogs. This year I thought I'd try amber necklaces and none of them had fleas or ticks,highly recommend!! plus it's about $20 for one,so much cheaper and no horrible chemicals! |
Flea and tick medicine Thanks for all of your replies. Cocoa is 5.9 lbs. I took her to the vet a couple days ago to get a blood panel done. She did mention a collar for flea and ticks, it might have been seresto. She keeps trying to scratch between her shoulder blades where the revolution goes. I put a pheromone collar on her last week, which has calmed her down. I guess I will change to seresto. That means three collars!!! Will I be able to put her I.d. Tags on the seresto collar? What heart worm medicine do you guys use.? |
