Default allergies in yorkies

I just wanted to send a warning out to everyone who has a more sensitive baby. i used sentry natural defense flea spray on the dogs and gatsby who is about 5 1/2 pounds started acting strange i thought he was mad i sprayed him he dosent like smells on his fur but about 20min later i realized that he was not moving so i woke him up and he lifted his head then my sister pricked her finger and yelped he tried to stand up to see her but he couldent stand he just fell back down so at this i took him to vet of course and she told me he was basicly allergic to the spray apparently some of the natural ingredeents are really bad if they absorb to much threw the skin like clove and the cinnimon and the tyme i guess one of them in a small amout wont hurt but all of them in a larger amount like in the flea spray can make them sick the vet said that if i had waited just a littel longer he would probably be dead but on the bright side the vet treated him like a allergy and he is now fine up running around and chaseing the cat i have been told that all yorkies because of the small size are very sensitive so i wanted to share this info because i dont want eny one getting sick if it can be prevented
