Default Tea Tree Oil poisoning?!??!?

I had my mother watch Turbie over New Years. Last time she went there she got fleas, so I asked her to put some tea tree oil on her shoulder blades. I dont have a flea problem at my house so we dont use advantage, and prefer the holistic route.

Shes been eating and all that business. But shes extremely lethargic, she slept all the way home last night, through last night, and all day today. Not like her at all.

I was reading one of my raw email lists and they were talking about tea tree oil poisoning. I had NO clue that animals could be poisoned from it!!!

Im going to bathe her right now and if she doesnt get better tomorrow, off to the Vet we go. I already feel guilty and I dont even know if this is what is bothering her.

I just wanted others to know that it is possible!!!
