Anaphylactic Shock - Bug Bites!!

[Zoey Zendaya]

Yep , for sure..... You would think someone would invent more things for the smaller breeds! I'm always looking for whatever is out there, but so far it's leashes, and toys! ( to safely entertain) and of course x pens.

What a great idea, especially now that it's getting a bit cooler out - A trip to the store for shoes or boots this afternoon! She probably won't be able to run in them, but better safe than sorry for sure!

Oh let me know when you find does that stay on

Duh ....what did I just say?
Let me know when you find boots that stay ON.....lol

Hi All - I wanted to send an update regarding a revelation I had today regarding Coco's anaphylactic shock over the weekend. I've spent days retracing my steps and reflecting on the days leading up to the incident. Today I remembered that I administered Frontline Pllus the day before each of these episodes. Since I never actually saw a bug or bee, I've begun thinking that it might just be this preventative flea medication that's causing the problem. I have a call into the vet to inquire, but wanted to see if any of you have knowledge of these meds causing issues…..Thanks so much!! Mama Diane & Little Coco Chanel

It's possible as all meds and chemicals affect individual dogs differently (just like in humans). She could have an allergy or intolerance to Frontline. Has she had doses of Frontline in between the 2 episodes? If so, did she have reactions then?

Yes - Ironically, I applied Advantage Plus the fist time, and Frontline II the second time. Both within 48 hours of the episode. No more topicals for Coco - Our vet has recommended Comfortis, but I'm not even sold on it. I think we'll be using all natural, organic remedies from here on out! Mama Diane & Little Coco Chanel
