Enough already! Please, don't be trying all of these OTC suggestions on her...she needs to go to a vet asap!

I agree with you 100%. I tried to tell the OP that earlier in the thread but I dont think she wants to listen to that.

I know Im agreeing with you. No one should be giving her advice to use a different flea med either when too many flea meds have been used as it is. I think thats part of the problem those flea shampoos are very strong and then using a preventative also after that is just a recipe for disaster

Hi all, Holly is fine, she went to the vet Monday morning, and was acting normal. They took a swab of her stool and found a little bacteria in it, and gave up some meds to give her for 10 days, but said she just had a little flu, and checked out otherwise fine

She hasn't had a problem since the day before. Even just came home from a 1,700 mile car trip for Thanksgiving, and was just fine

Thanks everyone!!!

Are you sure its not the flea meds and flea shampoo thats not doing this to her. I know a few small dogs and cats who have become very ill after flea meds/ shampoo's.
another thing I wanted to bring up was when you syringe water in her please only do it as she licks it up and swallows cause this can go into their lungs if you just squirt it down her throat.
