This is awful!
I am trying to think of problems with these flea products - and someone here - jazzcat I think?? - used one from the vet (NOT Advantage) and it caused a bad rash and hairloss. Maybe she will check in...
Then, Hartz drops has been taken off the market because they caused all sorts of problems and yes, some deaths, too.
Another product is Revolution drops and this may or may not have been the one that caused problems with the PT member I am thinking of.
But I wanted to clarify one thing from your post Logan - about using Advantage (NOT Advantix) dog product on cats. With Advantage by Bayer - the formula for cats and dogs in exactly the same. The substance used in this product - for both cats and dogs - is called Imidacloprid.
I have no idea what is in the other products and am sorry to read about this kitty who died. I had thought that Frontline was a very good product and had to use it years ago on all my cats - but used the Frontline spray that is applied and left to dry - I did NOT use the newer Frontline Top Spot prevention drops.
I hope that your friend contacted the company in the event that the product is causing problems with other cats - they need to know this -especially if she used the prevention drops - since they are a fairly new product.
