I just read your reply, how adorable that he perked up when you yelled cookies! Cookies may have saved his life!

Yes, everyone is just fine. I've had extensive discussions today with the ER vet and their team, and my own vets, who all share the opinion that these preventatives are generally safe, but there are these sensitive dogs who can react, and it's unfortunate. If you live in a high tick area as I do, it's really hard to make a choice. I know a few people who have had tick borne illnesses cause things like encephalitis and even auto-immune problems.

I should have mentioned that I had to scream because not only was he semi conscious, but he is hard of hearing!
