Is is possible that this caused the reaction? I gave them to her 2 weeks ago...seems like a long time for a reaction to occur.

Make sure to ask your vet about the double whammy of flea protection. Sentinel will prevent the hatching of any new flea eggs, but will not necessarily kill adult fleas. I, personally don't like Frontline because the smell gags me. I tend to be smell sensitive, but I think the smell lingers on the dog's body for days following a treatment. It if smells that bad and you are supposed to wash your hands after coming in contact with it, I also worry what happens if a dog were to ingest some.
