The back of the flea medicine box said to wash them immediately if they have an allergic reaction. We gave her a bath yesterday and dried her really good. I held her in a blanket to make sure she wasn't cold, and of course I know not to get her head wet. I'll never buy Hartz products again!
Last night, she went in our bathroom and went to sleep in there. She never sleeps in the bathroom! So then I woke up in the middle of the night and she had moved her bed beside of mine. She's been asleep on and off since last night. I guess she got so exhausted from walking all day long and the poor thing finally couldn't go any longer. I think the sleep helped her ALOT. My mom got up at 5 for work, and she said Trixie ate all of her dog food, and she went outside to potty! Which is good, we haven't seen her do #1 or #2 in a day or two. She was also constipated a few days ago, like I mentioned, I think that's why her belly was so bloated. She had an accident (diarrhea) a few minutes ago but I didn't scold her because she's sick and she can't help it. I honestly think that may have been it. Any time I've ever been constipated, it was miserable!
I called the vet around 9 this morning, and the girl working in the office said that the vet isn't in for a few days because she had her baby. I described to the girl what had been going on and she said she probably did have an allergic reaction to the flea medicine, and the constipation probably didn't make her feel any better either. I'm going to look around for other vets to take her to in case of an emergency. Since she seems to be feeling better, I'll just let her sleep for today. |
