Gli effetti collaterali del trattamento delle pulci Advantage

Credito d'immagine
È vero, onestamente Jon Snow non puoi impedire ai tuoi amati animali domestici di pulci e pidocchi semplicemente avvolgendoli in un batuffolo di cotone ... cappotti. Oh coraggioso, bello, sciocco Jon Snow.

Fortunatamente per Jon e il resto di noi, il trattamento leader Advantage è prontamente disponibile. Può essere utilizzato su cani di età pari o superiore a 7 settimane e su gatti di età pari o superiore a 8 settimane, nonché su conigli e furetti. È anche sicuro per gli animali in gravidanza e in allattamento. Assicurati di parlare con il veterinario se il tuo animale domestico è in cura, se sono già in uso altri pesticidi o se il tuo animale domestico è sottopeso, anziano o debilitato.

Il vantaggio funziona come un paralitico per uccidere rapidamente pulci e larve adulte (non le uova) e quindi interrompe il ciclo di vita dei nemici più odiati dei nostri animali domestici.

Una volta applicato, il sistema nervoso di pulci e pidocchi viene attaccato. Sono paralizzati e muoiono solo pochi minuti dopo essere entrati in contatto con Advantage: non devono nemmeno mordere l'animale per essere colpiti. Le pulci smetteranno di mordere entro cinque minuti dall'applicazione e moriranno entro 20 minuti dal contatto. Il vantaggio uccide il 98-100% delle pulci esistenti entro 12 ore dall'applicazione e distruggerà il 99% delle larve di pulci nei dintorni dell'animale.

Il vantaggio è facile da usare e rimane efficace per un mese. È anche impermeabile, quindi funzionerà ancora dopo il bagno, il nuoto, la pozzanghera o il rotolamento del fango (sai chi sei!) O per gli amanti delle piogge che inseguono la tempesta.

Viene applicato attraverso il mantello sulla pelle del cane o del gatto e si diffonde attraverso lo strato oleoso della pelle. Sono disponibili diversi dosaggi che dipendono dal peso del tuo animale domestico. Assicurati di acquistare il dosaggio corretto per il tuo animale domestico e che tutte le indicazioni siano seguite accuratamente. Pesare il tuo animale domestico o chiedere al veterinario di pesarlo, non indovinare e applicare il dosaggio che ritieni corretto.

Il vantaggio è un trattamento esterno e non deve entrare negli occhi o nella bocca dell'animale. Per i cani di piccola e media taglia, viene posizionato fuori dalla portata della leccata sulla schiena tra le scapole e per un gatto alla base del cranio. Per cani di grossa taglia oltre i 25 kg, il dosaggio è diviso tra le scapole, sul retro tra i fianchi e in un altro punto nel mezzo.

Come con qualsiasi trattamento medico, potrebbe esserci una piccola porzione di animali con sensibilità individuali. Monitora sempre l'animale subito dopo l'applicazione e per alcuni giorni dopo. Se ci sono segni di reazioni avverse o se la salute del tuo animale domestico peggiora, consulta immediatamente un veterinario.

Perdita di capelli e irritazioni della pelle
Una lieve irritazione della pelle è comune nel sito di applicazione, specialmente se si tratta del primo trattamento in assoluto del tuo animale domestico. Possono verificarsi irrigidimento o aspetto umido di capelli, prurito, arrossamento o pelle rosata, ma questi sono effetti collaterali temporanei. Occasionalmente si verifica anche la perdita dei capelli. Questo di solito è una tantum e i capelli ricrescono entro 1-2 settimane. Se la caduta dei capelli si diffonde o non ricresce, consultare il veterinario.

Gli animali con pelle sensibile possono sviluppare piaghe che possono sanguinare se graffiate, divise o aperte e quindi infettate. Controllare regolarmente il sito dell'applicazione e, se si verificano questi sintomi, visitare il veterinario.

Frontline Plus inizia a uccidere immediatamente i parassiti, eliminando fino al 100% delle pulci dopo 18 ore e terminando tutte le zecche dopo 48 ore. Assicurati di proteggere questi piccoli mascalzoni indagatori al meglio delle tue possibilità acquistando il meglio della scienza veterinaria.
Una bassa incidenza di proprietari ha notato che il loro animale domestico ha un odore di tipo medicinale dopo il trattamento. Questo non è pericoloso o dannoso e durerà solo pochi giorni a una settimana dopo l'applicazione.

Contatto con gli occhi
Se il tuo animale riesce a ricevere il trattamento nei suoi occhi, sciacqua immediatamente gli occhi con abbondante acqua e consulta il veterinario.

Effetti collaterali rari e gravi
Gli effetti collaterali gravi sono rari , di solito si verificano solo in animali con sensibilità individuali o allergie ai principi attivi del prodotto o sono il risultato di ingestione accidentale o di un errore nell'uso del prodotto. I segni dovrebbero essere evidenti rapidamente e in ogni circostanza, immediati è necessaria attenzione veterinaria se si nota una delle seguenti condizioni:

Perdita di apetite, aumento della sete, vomito, diarrea o sbavamento - Ricorda di applicare Advantage come indicato, fuori dalla portata della bocca del tuo animale domestico. Il prodotto ha un sapore amaro che dovrebbe scoraggiare leccare e ingestione. Se viene ingerito abbastanza, può causare disturbi di stomaco e perdita di appetito. Vomito, diarrea, eccessiva salivazione, sbavatura e aumento della sete indicano un'ingestione eccessiva o una reazione avversa.

Dilatazione della pupilla, irritazione oculare o aumento della produzione di lacrime

Difficoltà respiratorie, atassia (problemi di movimento), inciampo, tremori o convulsioni

Sonno anormale, letargia o non reattività

Strano comportamento, depressione o iperattività

Come accennato, le reazioni gravi sono considerate molto rare con Advantage quando viene applicato secondo le istruzioni. Come ulteriore precauzione, è meglio osservare e separare gli animali trattati per 30-60 minuti per assicurarsi che non lecchino il proprio sito di applicazione o quello di altri animali. Altrimenti, Advantage è un trattamento estremamente semplice ed efficace per garantire che il tuo amato animale domestico non diventi un grattacielo per pulci e pidocchi.

if i feel like my cat is having a reaction, can i wash the area?

Abbiamo usato Advantage Multi sul nostro Chesapeake Bay Retruever altrimenti sano per il controllo delle pulci. Entro 12 ore era coperto di punti caldi e in 24 ore era cieco e disorientato. Il nostro veterinario dice di non usare MAI più questo prodotto. E ora?? Il mio caro cane ora è cieco. Il mio consiglio è che se ami il tuo cane non usare questo Advantage Multi. È veleno per qualcosa di più delle pulci. Oh, e ho già detto che causa problemi riproduttivi? Questo per quanto riguarda il mio programma di allevamento ora. Era la fine di una linea e ora è finita. Niente caccia, niente nuoto. Impareremo a lavorare con la sua cecità. Questa azienda deve smettere di produrre questo prodotto.

Hi, I am not using Advantage mullti but just Advantage on my dog, do you think this is ok?

Rebecca Smith13 giugno 2018Reply

L'ho usato sul mio gatto siamese di 1 anno, mai più. Aveva la caduta dei capelli nel sito di applicazione. I capelli sono ricresciuti, quindi gli ho dato una seconda app mesi dopo. Ha avuto una reazione grave, sbavando, letargico, tremori alla mascella. È successo tutto da 4 a 5 giorni dopo l'applicazione del Vantaggio II. Mi è stato detto che se ci provo di nuovo, il mio misero Mac morirà.

Il mio chihuahua sta avendo una reazione estrema a vantaggio multi somministrato 2 giorni fa. Gonfiore agli occhi, irritazione alle orecchie, inclinazione della testa, diarrea, letargia, tremori, respiro accelerato. Questa non è la prima volta che ha una reazione, ma è assolutamente terrificante. Non darò mai più questo veleno a nessuno dei miei cani, compresi i miei altri due. Siamo pronti a portarlo dai veterinari di emergenza, a chiamarlo e a sistemare tutto nel caso in cui stasera il suo respiro diventasse di nuovo accelerato. Sta dormendo ora e stiamo pregando che svanisca da solo entro domani. Questo prodotto è tossico al 100%. Non credere a quello che qualcuno ti dice, nemmeno i veterinari. Il mio povero piccolo amico è una vittima di questa tossica manovra di marketing. Non gli darò mai più queste cazzate e dirò a ogni singola persona che conosco cosa ha causato l'esperienza del mio cane.
Non dare più vantaggi a nessun animale, punto.

What about Advantage, not Advantage multi please? Advantage multi has two ingredients, Advantage only one, Imedacloprid.

After our experience we don’t use any of these things on our dogs. Never again.
There are holistic versions made of essential oils we have instead. We will never use these toxic medicines in our dogs ever again. Lesson learned.

Elisabet Sigurdsson14 giugno 2018Reply

I applied it to both my dog's just the normal one the terrier is okay but my Bull dog is now having a reaction it's really scary, I won't be using it again

Call your vet but ours said we can give a little bit of Benadryl to stop the allergic reaction. Don’t ever use this poison again it’s not necessary!

Vantaggio trattamento delle pulci del cane.

Kip31 agosto 2018Reply

Il trattamento delle pulci di gatto Advantage II è pericoloso. Ho usato correttamente il prodotto sul mio gatto....per il peso corretto gatto piccolo, prima applicazione dopo 5 anni, gatto da interno, nessun cane in casa da leccare, applicato sulla nuca, era un gatto sano, separato dagli altri 2 gatti fino a secco. Le ha causato un avvelenamento da piriproxifene... convulsioni, paralisi parziale da convulsioni, letargia, leccate e perdita di appetito. Non è stato possibile controllare i sequestri. Nota, l'ho anche bagnata con un detersivo per piatti delicato quando sono comparsi i sintomi. Ho dovuto metterla a dormire. Il produttore di Advantage II Bayer non riconoscerebbe problemi, ma troverai casi simili sul web. Advantage II non è un'opzione sicura per il trattamento delle pulci (né ha funzionato).

I adopted a new kitty. Put advantage II on her, she has a huge bald spot. This was 4 days ago. I will not use it again.

Abbiamo sfruttato il vantaggio sul nostro Jack Russell 4 giorni fa. Ha iniziato a grattarsi molto il giorno in cui l'ho usato, ma abbiamo pensato che fosse solo perché aveva fatto il bagno il giorno prima. Ora ha vomitato 3 volte questa sera. Il suo vomito è chiaro ma sembra esserci schiuma o una sostanza simile al cotone nella parte superiore del vomito. È sabato sera, quindi il nostro veterinario è chiuso, così come tutti gli altri. Non abitiamo vicino a un veterinario che potrebbe essere aperto. Qualcuno sa dirmi cosa potremmo essere in grado di fare. In questo momento sta tremando e tremando. Grazie per qualsiasi consiglio tu possa avere. A proposito, è una giovane di 14 anni e raramente le diamo trattamenti per le pulci. Abbiamo lavorato fuori tutto il giorno lunedì e lei voleva stare fuori con noi. Abbiamo notato che aveva un paio di pulci quando siamo entrati in casa. Abbiamo deciso di usarlo e vorrei non l'avessimo fatto.

Ho cercato online per vedere recensioni e/o reclami su questo prodotto. Il mio salvataggio BullPei ha avuto questo 2 volte e non di più entrambe le volte che ha avuto enormi cuccioli e cisti come dimensioni e si è graffiato crudo in molti punti. Mi chiedevo quali altri prodotti qualcuno potrebbe consigliare. Grazie.
Susan, spero che il tuo bambino stia bene e mi dispiace che sia successo.

I used on my cat, "Advantage II", but never again, made the cat crazy, he bit and scratched me. He ran around the house. I called the Vet he told me to wash the cat and watch for foaming of the mouth and seizures. After the washing he seemed to settle down, I do not advise anyone to use this product, it can kill your cat.

How long did this last , my cats are acting crazy

mik18 gennaio 2019Reply

Advantage II made my cats very sick, Vet had me wash the cats and watch to make sure they didn't foam at the mouth or go into convulsions. I am so ashamed I didn't know better, I almost lost my best friends. Do not use this product, it can kill an animal. They did continue to salivate for a while but did settle down. I feel so sick from this, Ill never use anything like this again for fleas. I cant imagine if it had killed my pets how I would feel. I live alone with my 2 best friends, I would die inside if anything happened to "my boys".

Rozena07 marzo 2019Reply

I use Advantage II with my med sized dog and every time we do a treatment she scratches out of control, won’t eat and seems depressed. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was and have now discovered it is the Advantage II topical flea treatment that we just finished (we had the 6 month supply). I feel so bad for her. She doesn’t even have a flea issue when we don’t use it, I just use it to protect her. I’d rather just stop using it and if we notice flea, then treat. This stuff is poison to my dog.

Veronica 24 marzo 2019Reply

We put Advantage multi on our Beagle puppy this morning. Now his pupils are dilated, excessive drewling, depressed, won't eat and wobbles when he walks around. I feel terrible I don't know what to do. Our vet is closed. When I called they said benadryl and go ahead and give him a bath. Praying he makes it through the night and is ok in the morning. I'm so scared. Any suggestions?

Shirl15 aprile 2019Reply

I used advantage on two of my jack russels. One was 12 and 14. The 12 yr old was my daughters. We noticed a strong smell from the fkea stuff. We tried to wash it off. She started getting really sick and lathargic. She passed withing 7 days of use. She was up and playing then one day took a turn for the worse. We could not figure out what hapoened to her. I used the same batch on my dog a few weeks later. 5 days after use the same thing happen to him. He could not get up. He could not even out his head up. He could not eat . We thought this was the end for him. Its the weekend. No vet. I have been giving him 10 mg bennydryl around the clock. He is now up and walking and eating like nothing happened. Never again will i trust any toxin on my pets. He is highly alergic to fleas. I thought this would help him. We will find another way to deal with the fleas. It only takes 1 flea for him to have a bad reaction. I think 1 flea is better than being posioned. Maybe, this is the new batch they made because fleas are amused to the old batch. Imagine what they had to do to make something that would kill the fleas. Our poor furbabies are guniea pigs.

Dale03 giugno 2019Reply

After moving from a state where there are no fleas to California, ( lots of fleas) I used Advantage 2. Within hours my 6 year old cat "Marshmello" showed signs of a severe reaction: watery eyes, nose, and increased salivation. But the worst part was he lost the use of his back legs ! My vet examined him, and after a series of expensive blood tests stated that everyday cats come in with reactions from using advantage 2, and while the drooling and watery eyes would go away the paralysis might be permanent. It's been 3 months now and my cat is still 95% paralyzed in his back legs. Advantage 2 is a dangerous neurotoxin. DO NOT use this product !

Patty03 giugno 2019Reply

So sorry to hear about your cat. My cat is having a bad reacion also and I am fearful.

Dalr03 giugno 2019Reply

Patty, I'm so sorry to hear about your fur baby. As for my Marshmallow, after several months, 3 different veterinarians, numerous laboratory tests, $2,000+ in vet bills, he is doing better. the neurotoxins in advantage II caused him irreparable nerve damage, therefore he has been put on phenobarbital to control his seizures. He now has approximately 30% use of his back legs. To control his fleas, we use Comfortis, which is only available by prescription but works wonderfully. Wishing you all the best with your fur baby.

Hello, I used Advantage II (large cat) on my completely healthy cat 11 year old cat and within the next few days he started showing weakness in his hind legs. Still eating, drinking, etc, and doesn't seem to be in pain, but he was no longer able to jump, his back legs completely collapsed on him a few times and he's walking with a strange wobbly gait in only his hind legs. Took him to the vet where he had extensive bloodwork and x-rays. Everything looked normal. its now been about a month of symptoms. It hadn't occurred to me that it could have been the advantage. Does this sound like what happened to marshmello? thanks in advance for any help-- the only this the vet suggested was further testing such as an MRI which would be extremely expensive

Sheryl30 ottobre 2019Reply

I have been using Advantage Multi on my 2 cats and dog for over 3 months. I couldn’t figure out what suddenly went wrong with my otherwise health felines. My make lost half his fur and my female was lethargic, seemed depressed and was peeing large amounts of blood. $1500 later and nothing is working, I tried another flea medication in between another antibiotic because the advantage didn’t work anyway and suddenly my cats are back to normal. I never would gave thought this was causing it. My mother’s 2 dogs also became deathly ill and 1 almost passed away after applying the Advantage. Never again !

Just adopted a little 5 year old poodle 4 days ago from city adoption site. She was spaded, and given all her medicines including advantage plus all within 9 days. Alot of meds for a 6 pound dog. Today she had 2 seizures, and she walks a little funny. The vet said she thinks the seizures maybe just epilepsy. But when I looked at the meds she received I saw the advantage plus. Never to use this stuff again, it is poison to their system!

I used advantage on my 17 month old bengal and I believe it has made him sick. He became very lethargic, high fever, no appetite. I took him to the vet and all of his lab work came back normal. I have read about advantage causing issues in other pets. I know that he didn't ingest any of the formula. I purchased the 4 pack for large cats as he did weight 12.5 pounds. He has lost some of that weight now.

Ashley 27 settembre 2020Reply

Hi, I work at an animal hospital and im noticing a lot of clients here upset about the medicines they have been giving their pets. I just want to point out that while it IS a risk to put any of these products on your pets, it is no more of a risk individually as us buying medicine to treat our own ailments. Do some research before chosing a flea prevention. All dogs are different, just like people. Some may react terribly and some may have no issues arrise. At my hospital, we have VERY FEW patients who cannot take certain preventatives and we quickly find the solution because without these treatments, these babies can become so infested that it leads to Anemia and often organ failure, followed by death. Ticks can cause a multitude of diseases and disorders as well that also lead to death. To be honest, every day we all do things, take things, and eat things that could potentially kill or harm us. So, while it is terribly unfortunate to hear that some of your babies have had such a horrible experience, I do want to point out that our babies do need some of these options for protection. Please follow the rules and guidelines and watch the precautions. Some medications are better or worse than others. I do believe we, as a race of "intelligence", we could do SO much better for our furry kin.

Freddie27 settembre 2020Reply

My dog has been treated with every. other. treatment. on. the. market. I've worked in pet stores for half a decade, I have unlimited access to every product, and I vet him regularly and have used every prescription product, including sulfur baths. This shampoo, knowing the ludicrous number of complaints, is a last resort.

But I've got 3 acres in the country, and I woke up, walked to the kitchen, and my feet were covered in blood from all the ticks he brought in the house the night before, WITH treatment. He has gotten ehrlichia once, already. I had to try it.

If he has seizures and dies tonight, it will be far more humane than what he has gone through over the past four years with nonstop irritation and organ damage from ineffectual medicines and diseases brought by vermin. I would welcome it as an end to his suffering. But it isn't gonna happen.

Because I also know the public. Especially pet owners. They will crap their own pants and try to shove it in the mouths of anyone who disputes a word of their testimony because ThEy kNoW WhAt'S bEsT fOr ThEiR BaBiEs. They let them eat the polyester filling from a toy and then blame the stomach discomfort on a brand of food the vet recommended.

Every pet owner is a Karen. Ignore the bad reviews.

I put advantage on my healthy 12 year old cat . He developed huge cost like bumps on his neck and he lost fur all around his ears and at the area I applied it to on the back of his neck . I washed him w dawn soap but the damage is done . I feel so horrible for putting that poison on him . Never again . He’s miserable and I feel horrible for doing that to him . I did call a vet and they said 1/2 dose of children’s Benadryl . That seemed to help a little bit . Poor kitty king George . I hope he gets back to normal soon

This is the third time using on one of my kittens and I found this site because I had googled side effects. I think she might of gotten some on her paw and licked a little bit of it. Washed the paw out and am now monitoring her. No big side effects after the first two applications and I have another kitten who also didn't get any side effects with both his applications. After reading all these comments I am freaking out. I've never had an issue with the prior two applications and actually saw a lot of good reviews for advantage II for small cats. Really hoping my baby won't have any major side effects.

UPDATE: washed the area out with mild soap and water and made sure to dry it off. Kitty was fine afterwards. My other cat feel asleep belly up and it dried up on it's own. No side effects both applications on other cat. They are both 7 month old kittens and I used Advantage II for small cats. I don't think I will continue using it although I didn't have major side effects as many people stated here. I will probably look into maybe a flea collar or some other type of flea treatment.

Used advantage on my 15 month old cat 4 days ago ever since she wont go near me she is very edgy and not eating properly she walks around with wide eyes like she's scared hopefully this will wear off and she'll be ok, i wish I knew how this would affect her there should be a warning about how dangerous this treatment is for animals.

Matthew Stark 03 febbraio 2021Reply

Advantage is nasty... period! I've had to use this product because it's effective but it hurts the hell out of my cats. It burns their skin and the fumes from the alcohol content causes them both to squint. I feel like the meanest person in the world for having to use it on them.
They are indoor cats 24/7 but a neighbour in my apartment building allows her indoor/outdoor cat to wander the halls. He sits outside my door daily. I'm at a crossroad. I've tried all natural means and nothing has worked. The manager of the building doesn't care about this matter.
So, if anyone knows of something else that's harmless except to the fleas please inform me.
Anything from Hartz is an absolute no! I'm surprised that they're still still selling their flea collars. As for Bayer, the makers of Advantage, well that's another whole ball of evil.

It is horrible what my Jaq has been going through, he was the perfect guy. on June 12 he had is 1st dose of the season and has scratched his neck to the point of bleeding. it is now 3 wks later and he has started scratching and bleeding again. Bathing is Not an option. I feel horrible that i allowed my good boy to be tortured like this!
Why is this garbage on the market. DO NOT SUBJECT UR FUR BABY TO THIS!!!!

My previous comment was definitely not directed to this site. It was pointed at Bayer the makers of Advantage.

What if you have two dogs. They play a mouth each other, they will get the others back so what can be done to make this safe? Multi use pills are out due to seizures.

Used the Advantage II for Ferrets on both my ferrets. Never had any reactions or anything. Just like humans that take any medicine, pets taking medicine comes with a risk. Whether that be flea treatment, pain treatment or anything really.

Just used Advantage Plus on our Carin terrier X and he has extremely bad chemical burns.
Called the company and was given a case # "in case the vet wants to know the active ingredients " He is miserable, we bathed him in Dawn dish soap then gave him 50mg of Benadryl also but Rx burn cream on the spots and had to put a shirt on him to make him stop scratching the burn spots. I am completely shocked at what this has done to him. There is no recourse if I take him to the Vet it's all on me....Ya I am not happy to say the least. Not sure what else to give him to calm him down and stop the itching.

Cat freaking out. I used it on my siamese cat and within hours she started to have iritic behavior! I am on day 2 of trying to detox her with Chlorine Dioxide (MMS). She sleeps a lot and wants to be very very close to me. Hides under and sheet or blanket she can and twitches one of her ears. Other times she stares at a blank wall w/o blinking. Its like she has completely lost it at times. Never EVER again will I put those chemicals on her body -- that is if she makes it out of this :(

Vet gave to our 4 month old English bulldog, applied it late last night and 12 hours later he’s in a coma, thought he was just sleeping til I tried to wake him up to feed and he was just limp, then as I tried waking him he’d begin seizing and go limp right away. Currently at the vet but please please avoid this poison. We are sooo upset. Should have researched it but just assumed the vet prescribed it so figured it was safe for a perfectly healthy pup. This shouldn’t be an option for any animal.

I used this on my 9 year old Jack Russell on Thursday night when I woke up Friday morning he throat was so swollen he has burns on his skin. Hives all over his back and the rest of his skin red raw. I was petrified.
My 8 year old Jack Russell has sores on his skin too and not eaten his dinner since.
I’m so sorry to read all these stories.
I will never ever use it again!

I administered Advantage multi on my two 3 year old pups and senior dog on Friday night.On Saturday one of the pups was not eating and lethargic. He also had diarrhea. On Sunday, he drank some water and vomited. He seemed to be getting better until I came home from work Monday and he had died. I’ll never use it again.

Hi my vet issued advantage flea treatment for my lop eared 18month old rabbit on Tuesday although he didn’t have fleas he had a very small sore at the side of his eye, he’s a house rabbit, within 18hrs my rabbit started to fall over, I took him straight back to the vet and he said it could be E cuniculi which is fatal, and completely dismissed my concern it could be the flea treatment, we are now in day 3 and he is getting worse, I don’t know what to do, please can anyone give me advise

Gave my puppy the correct dosage of advantage flea treatment and 48 hours later he suddenly won't settle to go to bed and has had diarrhoea, he did it in his cage for the first time ever . Wonder if this is a coincidence or a reaction?

Take him to the vet, he is having a bad reaction to the medication

Gave my mastiff Advantage multi and 5 hours later, he could no longer walk. He is at the emergency vet now- they said he was also partially blind Praying 🙏 that they can save him and get this poison out of him.

I have used Advantage Multi on both of my cats for three months now and both cats have developed this horrible odor that they did not have before I started using it. One cat is nine years old, the other is three. Has anyone else noticed a smell with their cat?

One of my cats started drooling really bad about an hour after treatment, but it only lasted a few minutes and she drank water and it cleared up. I have been monitoring her and she seems to be her normal self since. Another adult male lost his hair and has irritation at the site where Advantag II was applied. Should I not give them Advantage any longer, or maybe for a couple of treatments use the kitten dose even though they are adults?

My 12 year old otherwise healthy cat within hours started vomiting, next day lethargic & won’t eat or drink. Day 2 loss of motor function, stumbling & hissing. Unfortunately it is the weekend & ER vets are far away & too expensive honestly. I am thinking & preparing for the worst. I am heartbroken. He was/is my best friend. So sad big pharmaceutical can get away with this. Pure poison. Watching my pet slowly slip away is torture. I realize this product works for many, but I will certainly seek a homeopathic flea treatment for any future pets I may own. If I ever decide to own another pet. Very angry/sad
Grieving.

Advantage II: just administered 3rd application following the summer months to my Siamese. A day later he's scratching and grooming obsessively. A few days later I notice massive hair loss all over his body like hot spots, however, no discoloration nor inflammation. The hair loss continues. The scratching continues - as the fleas are still alive and well! He's evidently having a bad reaction. Never again! Heartz flea collar did the same as the fur around his neck vanished (but grew back)... Collidal Silver in his water to help him through this, whenever that might be. In the future - DE in his food to deworm, perhaps Revolution...Glad I found this site! They need to put serious warnings on their packaging.

I just used Advantage for cats on my pet Polly. Within 10 minutes she started acting unusual, dashing around my house. Polly was foaming at the mouth so excessive salivation. I was extremely worried and tried to round here up for an emergency Vet trip, but the symptoms subsided within five to ten minutes. I have used Advantage in the past without incident, but I guess she has become sensitized. I am researching alternatives.

I was wondering if this medication can cause dogs to have moles grow on their body in different places.
