Our Rocky has had reactions to 2 different brands and at this point we are considering not trying or using any more treatments.

I just don't know what to do , specially after reading about so many serious reactions , even deaths associated to flea treatments that the FDA is investigating.

He gets into a panic mode, walks around in circles with tail down, as if he is afraid (similar to what he does when we have bad storms). First couple of times he would be breathing really fast, rolling on the floor like when we give him a bath, basically acted very strange for about four hours.

The last time the vet suggested a new brand and to only use half the dose , that time he acted differently, he was sleepy, not as panicky as other times, but we worried because he was too calm.

We live in Georgia and know that fleas are a big problem but he is always indoors, only near other dogs when we go to PetSmart to get his nails trimmed.
