Frontline Question???

Question

I have a pomeranian, she weights about 10lbs and around 12yrs old, I put frontline on her last night (on the back of her neck), this morning I woke up and she acted as if she was about to die. I know its the frontline bc I have put it on her before and she has had bad reactions to it but its never been this bad, normally she just doesnt even for maybe a day or two. Today, she wouldnt move, wouldnt open her eyes, didnt respond to her name, wouldnt eat/drink anything, she acted like that until about 2 this afternoon, she still isnt getting up and walking but shes lifting her head and looking around, has anyone else had this type of reaction before?

Answer 1

If she has had bad reactions before i don't think you should have continues using the products. There are other flea and tick products available that you could try using. And being 12 years old I would be more cautious about medications in general. I hope you took her to the vet immediately.

If only not eating for a day or two is the only reaction that she had i could see why the vet said to wait it out. It may be something not related to the frontline, it could be something else and just be a coincidence. Because of the age of your dog, i'd make sure the vet does some bloodwork. Then go from there with what your vet finds out from the bloodwork. Good luck!
