Sick from Frontline I put frontline on our dogs for fleas and ticks and now my yorkie is feeling ill, has this happened to anyone and what is there to do to make her feel better?? Please help anyone |
My KiKi gets ill from Flea treatments as well...I no longer use a full tubeful on her..only a few drops. I would give your Yorkie a bath right away to remove the product. Keep us posted. |
Those extremely harsh chemical's go right into their blood. It's because of these flea repellents, over inoculating and dog food that's causing cancers and other serious medical problems.

If she's lethargic, get her in the sink and put dawn detergent on her and wash it off(if you've just put it on). I know with my littlest one and the one that is about 6 lbs. I split a tube of the k-9 advantix. It's up to 10 lbs, but, I'm not going to take a chance. I put some bio groom on the oldest biewer(6 lbs) last summer and thought I was going to lose him. He started going balistic, jumping over the gate, jumping in my clean towels trying to rub it off, and then got lethargic. I hurried and threw him in a sink and washed it off. A few min. later he was back to normal |
Normally she is running around playing, but yesterday and today she has just been laying on the couch her nose was warm instead of cool, she threw up last night and early this morning she has finally ate a little and drinking water. |
How old, and how big, and which frontline did you use |
she is 1yr 2 months old, weighs around 5pds and used frontline plus for dogs |
have you been using the frontline all along or did you switch from another flea and tick medication |
this was the first time we used any type of flea med. on her, we have used frontline before with our shih tzu and hes always been fine |
do you have it for the right weight? With her being 5 lbs, I would probably only put 1/2 on her, then use the other 1/2 the next month. Actually, I know they used to say a dogs nose used to be cool and moist and if it was warm and dry they were sick or running fevers. I just found out the other day this is not true. My yorkie was at the vet for allergies, I thought for sure she was running a fever as her nose had been being dry and was very warm, nope, her temp was normal. Keep a close eye on her, if she gets worse or doesn't eat, I would call the vet. |

Ok I will watch her close. Thanks everyone for all your help:):) I was just so worried.. |
I used advantix from the vet for the first time, I was actually against it but when I took her to the vet there were two people there for ticks so I freaked out, the vet told me we are going to and are having a bad tick season... :eek: I should have only used half.. I didnt know better, anyways Laci was so itchy in that spot... I did bathe her but its still itchy I going to get something different next month!! I hate fleas and ticks!! :mad: |
You can always call the number on the frontline box to see what the side effects are, you said dogs in your original post are all your dogs not feeling well or just one, I only ask because it might be a coincidence. |
