I do not have a yorkie, and my small dog seems to have been unaffected buy the first shield. But my 6 month old spaniel who is already 48 pounds has been throwing up all night, has diarrhea, horrible gas, and is very lethargic.

I want to thank you for all the posts about your side effects and the suggestion about the dish soap. The emergency vet also suggested bathing him and if he is still lethargic in a few hrs they want us to come in.

I will never use this flea med again, we're going back to advantix next month.

I just wanted to make sure anyone searching for this would know that this is a problem for all sized dogs and to stay away from this stuff.
