I applied the med on my 5 lb chihuahua. He soon started having ear twitches just on the left side. they came about every 3 minutes. I immediatley took him to the vet. They knew right off that it was the BioSpot. They said they treat dogs often for this reaction to this drug. It is the Permethrin. They said its too strong for some dogs and it causes tremors, twitching, and seizures. My Chihuahua is still in ICU but is doing better. The vet told me that once a med is approved to be sold on the market it is almost impossible to get it taken off. How many dogs need to die or have adverse reactions before something is done about this?angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567914869693274871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-58288134215837892012009-04-24T22:57:00.000-06:002009-04-24T22:57:00.000-06:00I happened to view the flea & tick meds that t...I happened to view the flea & tick meds that the local vet sells and then I searched on the internet for it; finally buying it from an Australian company. I have used this product on both of our dogs with no problem at all. Saying that, I have not bought any of the product in quite some time and there have been no issues with any fleas or ticks. When we lived in Sierra Vista AZ (similar climate as here), there were absolutely no problems with fleas & ticks. In my experience, the only place I have seen them have been hot, humid places in the U.S. I have not heard or seen advertised BioSpot.Northannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303683546960344649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-64484760326706799152009-04-23T12:46:00.000-06:002009-04-23T12:46:00.000-06:00Clair, I'm so sorry about Leny's troubles---that m...Clair, I'm so sorry about Leny's troubles---that must have been so scary for your sister to see. I would be a little cynical, too, about that "Animal Poison Control Center." Very interesting that the rep wanted to convince your vet that he was wrong....hmmmm.<br /><br />Thanks so much for writing about this. We are on the verge of getting a dog and had wondered what the best tick and flea control methods would be because we have a lot of ticks and fleas around here. At least, I know to stay away from BioSpot. <br /><br />Hope Leny feels a lot better soon.Bethhttp://blueridgebluecollargirl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-16882643360826368962009-04-23T08:58:00.000-06:002009-04-23T08:58:00.000-06:00Leny seems a little awkward today and just fell on...Leny seems a little awkward today and just fell on the dining room floor. I'm hoping that it is just the Valium.

She's going to live!! She was happy and hungry and very energetic, even on valium. I was greatly relieved.<br /><br />If they refuse to pay the vet bill, use the L-Word* on em and see what happens. And please let us know what your vet has to say about the educational lecture he received from the poison lady.<br /><br />* lawyer!!!!!!Jean (aka Auntie Bucksnort)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09674554298987110017noreply@blogger.com
