| Jake is Really sick... Please keep Jake in your thoughts today...he is currently at the vets on an IV. We are awaiting a toxoligy report as it appears he may have gotten into something? Tony and I are a wreck. Willow is fine. They both had their vaccines,rabies, and were tested for Lyme last Thursday. Everything came back negative. I gave them both Frontline Friday night. Jake started vomiting Saturday night. We rushed him to the emergency vet last night...we are so worried..our little “security guard" is now so helpless and weak... Please forgive my typos, I am typing from my wii remote as my laptop crashed...

| sounds like a frontline reaction call frontline on the box and ask what side effects have they had with this as that is what it sounds to me. Usually the reaction is within 12-24 hrs -- the flea protection is absorbed in skin and into the blood stream and can cause some dogs to get sick |

| Did Jack have a reaction to the Frontline. If he was find on Friday before giving the dose it sure sound like it cld be the Frontline. I do remember reading here where someone else had the same reaction. Hope he gets better real soon.

| Thanks Carol. One hour to go before we can even call the vet. We are trying to stay busy. We lost our first Yorkie, Jessie, two years ago this month. This is so scary for us...

| Oh Linda! Poor little Jake. I don't know much about this sort of thing, but my first thought was a reaction to his Frontline or maybe vaccines. I will keep checking back for an update full of good news. Rory sends extra love and kisses to her long distance boyfriend. I will keep you all in my prayers.

| Linda, I am petrified of Frontline. I only give it to my boys now when I will be home with them all weekend. I am willing to put money on it that Dexter has a mild reaction (which is enough to scare me) when I give him 1/2 a dose of it. I split one tube between both my boys and my Dexter becomes lethargic and very very needy and vomits multiple times when I give him frontline. Oooh poor Jakey! I am soooo sad! I pray he heals quickly and fully. (((HUGS)))

| You know I did notice that my Pebbles,( who is only 4lbs) was a little mopey the day after I gave them their frontline. Coco and Pebbles split 1 and Trixie gets a whole one. I'm sending my prayers for you and your baby. Hopeing he is doing much better. It's so scary when they are sick. Best of luck.

| Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I don't know what I would do without YT. We picked up Jake about a half hour ago. He is very weak and listless. The good news is that his bloodwork came back negative-they did a CBC and the vet said all his vital organs are fine. He has to go back tomorrow though all day again to be hooked up to the IV so they have left the catheter in his arm. He really hasn't eaten anything since possibly Friday night or Saturday morning. The vet does not want us to give him anything either, due to the vomiting. Jake of course probrably wouldn't eat or drink anything anyway but how long can they go without food? The Vet did load him up with fluids for the night, a bolus? I don't know, I'm still so concerned...

| I'm so sorry your little Jake is ill. I'll pray for his quick recovery. Did the vet say if thought Frontline might have triggered this?
