You read my mind. :D I'm going to bathe her again after dinner. I did notice the skin on the inside of one of her ears looks a little red. I'll put some vitamin E oil on that too. Thank you

Hello again. It's the next morning here and she is much more perky and social. She ate & went out like normal, however she is still shaking her head back and forth as if to rid her head of something on it. It may be still the residual toxins that have penetrated in her neck creating a tingling or burning in her ears? She still prefers being in her crate but she did sleep with me last night as she always does.
Anyone else that went through all of this, if you could tell me about the head shaking and how long that continued. I just want to know that it will go away. It's been about 36 hrs since application.
I'm just SO HAPPY she seems as if she'll be alright.

Thank you all

Thank you. She is starting to slowly perk up a little. She still wont eat but I am hoping for more recovery with each hour.

Wow! I sure wish I had read this forum before using this stuff. I put the flea drops on my 10 lb rat terrier last night and she responded with the same symptoms I am reading here. She is thrashing around and coughing with dry heaves. She is biting her feet and won't relax. I washed it off her with mild dishwashing soap and I called Sergeants. They told me that she will be fine and that its a "mild" reaction. They told me to put vitamin E oil on her coat where the drops were applied and to use a cold wash cloth on that area. They said she is experiencing a burning feeling. If anything happens to this dog, they are getting the pants sued off them. My dog is trying to relax now but I am fearing long term problems from this stuff. She still wont come out of her crate. She wont eat, go outside or come to me. Now understand, this dog is my BABY and thrives on my attention. She is not herself AT ALL.
These companies are in the business of "caring" for our pets, or so you would think. With this many posts regarding this product, one would think there is obviously a problem with the use of it. I realize all medicines have a possibility of side effects and reactions but when this is such a common occurence as shown here, that should be enough for them to pull it off the shelves. They asked me for the lot number on the box and all, so that tells me they may have let batches leave the factory that should not have been used. Legislation should put the same protocols in place for pet products as they do for humans. If there is a problem with a human medicine, its pulled and researched by the FDA. The same should apply here. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks after being laid off from work. Thanks for listening
