That is what I was thinking. It had not been a month since his last Frontline Plus application when he started scratching and biting at himself so much he (and I) could not sleep. I wanted to try something to help him because he was chewing so much he was creating raw spots. I was putting it on a couple times a day and he was still chewing at himself at the time. I only used it for a few days as he was so miserable I went to the vet and got a cortisone creme rinse and spray.
Your post just made me realize even when we think we are giving them something less harmful we could be unaware of the dangers, especially with smaller dogs. I thank you and Buster thanks you.
