I guess this the time to remind every one to be very carefull about the medicence they choose for their pets. After almost losing our old man winky (14yr.cat) Please go to your vet and really question the one they perscribe.
For all the folks who don't know the story. Last year I gave the normal flea and tick med I have given him for years. He started seizing (horrible thing to watch) By the time we got to the vet (after hours On a friday) He was not stopping it was one continuos seize. The vet wasn't sure hed live if he did hed be a veggie. They had him comatose for 12 hours. When he came to he was shocky and they had to steam incubate him for about 4 hours. Then he seemed ok a little dis orented. Sat afternoon the (2 lady vets) packed him around in a baby front pack to keep an eye on him. Monday he was VERY happy to see Ben (his cat) they all were amazed no damage (tough old cat) He is the same cat as always. $ 450.00 and 3 days of fear I will never use flea products again (Herbals only) and bathes in shampoo. Luckly we live in a fairly flea free area.
They vet couldn't find the med in her book for an antidote so we had to guess. But she really is one on the case of no over counter meds for fleas ,she sees a lot of cats die from these meds.
My moral of the story check and recheck what the vet s say and DONOT use over the counter meds.
