Stronghold (Revolution) reaction?
I've just given Meep her monthly Stronghold dose. Normally, she licks
her lips, runs around a bit, tries to lick the spot, pouts and is fine. Tonight though, she's acting strangely, but I don't know how much of it is because I might have caught her half asleep; I'm also a bit concerned that I may have placed it too far along the side of her neck; is it dangerous if placed too close to a major artery? I didn't even get all of it on her. Thought I did, but when I tested over the garbage, I'd guess I got little more than half on her, maybe less. I get it from the vet, it's the right dosage. Anyway, after dosing her, she just sat there with fully black eyes, ears half mast, and crouched. Flinches if I try to touch her. After a bit she jumped down, ran around a bit, tried to lick the spot, then settled back down to that big-eyed crouch. She looks like she has a really bad headache. Long ago, she used to get Frontline, but after a while developed a reaction. Frontline Plus was worse, only tried it once. Anybody ever had a cat (or dog, for that matter) react badly to Stronghold/Revolution? jmc |

Stronghold (Revolution) reaction?
Sounds like a bad reaction to it according to 1800 petmeds listing
What are the side effects Pets may experience some temporary irritation at the site of product application. If signs persist or become more severe within a few days of application, consult a veterinarian immediately. "jmc" wrote in message ... I've just given Meep her monthly Stronghold dose.

Stronghold (Revolution) reaction?
If she has reactions to flea medications why do you use them? My cats stay
inside and only once in the last year have I had to treat for fleas and that was due to the new dog having when we first got him. I see no reason to load them up with chemicals if it's not needed. The only thing any of my animals get on a monthly basis is interceptor for the two dogs. Celeste "jmc" wrote in message ... I've just given Meep her monthly Stronghold dose.

Stronghold (Revolution) reaction?
Suddenly, without warning, Spot exclaimed (05-Aug-06 8:15 AM):

Celeste Because I'm not treating her just for fleas, it works on mites and some worms too, and because she goes outside, under supervision, and there's signs that other cats do wander through our new digs. At any rate, she was fine when I went and checked on her after this post, and she's normal this morning. I'm keeping an eye on her though, of course. jmc |
