Just administered FrontLine Plus....need help!

[YorkichonBella]

I just administered FrontLine Plus to Bella. She's running around.....can't get still. It's never had this affect on her before. She's been very itchy lately, biting, etc. She had gotten better, but lately having to give her Benadryl. Why would the FrontLine Plus do this now & not ever before? About to call the Vet. Anyone had experiences like this??

[browniesmom622]

it could be an allergic reaction or she just doesn't like it, Give the vet a call he may say to give some benadryl.

Was there an open sore possibly on her somewhere where the meds
got in and could be burning her?
Call the vet!

I would wash it off right away and call the vet! Good Luck!

diggy didnt react to revolution the first time he got it but the second WOWSERS it was bad! id have her looked at by vet for sure. good luck keep us posted!

[YorkichonBella]

Thank you all for the quick response!! She's a little better...waiting for the Vet to return my call. She's still acting strangely....can't rest, but not running around. She was in my arms for a little while, but keeps moving from spot to spot?

Vet just called back. Not very much help. He says he doesn't see that many dogs have this reaction, but sometimes he does get a call that this has happened. Says he really can't explain "why". Sometimes, it's the fleas that run to their head area after administering that is making her feel uneasy. Honestly, I think I've seen 1 flea on Bella when gave her a bath in Dawn last week?? I know she can have a reaction from just 1 flea bite though. He wanted to know if she was vomiting, diarrhea? But so far, No, thank goodness. Hope she doesn't get worse

glad she is a lil better Diggy reaction lasted 3 days and thats with benedryl every 6-8 hours. he itched BAD and was very restless....I think she will be okay but Id have a vet look at her and did you bathe her?

My vet said they can react anytime to anything...even if they had it a million times! it was diggys second dose of revolution he reacted to. first one was smooth and no trouble. Id look into a different flea preventative and give her a bath try to get as much off as possible!

oohhhh so sorry this happened to Diggy. No, ironically I bathed her on Sun. That's why I waited til today to administer the flea meds. She was itching so badly before that I hate to give her a bath if she needs the flea med to help with what's going on?? Diggy wasn't itching until you gave the meds? Did his reaction happen immediately?

No he wasnt itching before the med....and the reaction came on slowly i mean he ran around and itched acted funny on it but that night he would lay all 4 paws up and SCREAM trying to itch so bad and ran in circles like a mad man!!

how old is Bella?? most seasonal allergies develop between the ages of 2-3 from what i have read. could she have a seasonal allergy that the frontline has agitated?

[YorkichonBella]

Bella just turned 1 in April. Her allergies developed though when she was around 10 months old. The Vet thought she was too young for food allergies? She wasn't scratching after the flea med was given, nor is she now. She just wants to be held now and is still right now.

hopefully its just that the smell bothers her. I have one that when you spray doggy perfume on her she runs around crazy trying to get it off. I hope thats all it is and shes better

This happened to Bobby last time I gabe him advantage. THis was about his 5th time getting it. He was acting weird all night. couldnt sit still and would run away from me. He didnt really itch but he was acting like he was scared. My poor baby , I am scared to give it to him again even though he is up for his next dose.

Flea med chemicals can build up in their system...I'm so sorry your baby had that reaction. I would wash her off quickly...
