Biting at the air and shaking is also signs of having seizures, which a lot of the flea products say their products can cause.. Gigi has already had seizures, which is why I am sooo afraid to use anything on her. Every dog is different, which is why it makes it so much harder to know what brand is safe. You really don't know until you try it on your own dog. Considering the fact that they all have insecticides in them, none of them are really safe in my book, but then, what choice does a dog owner have in combating fleas and ticks. Your damned if you do, and your damned if you don't.

It is an old product and used as pesticides. Tipper also has neurological symtoms. He is fly biting which is biting at invisible flies. And even after 4 days and being washed with Dawn 4 times is still chewing his foot and shaking it. I called Sargents the maker of Sentry and complained and they said to take to vet and I asked who would pay for it. They said to submit the receipt and they review it case per case. Right! They have a natural product also ,but how can I trust hem? A natural product with peppermint oils and such. I have tried frontline plus which works but one dog went in circles for an hour with it. And Comfortus (pill from Eli Lilly) and they all vomited. It has become a challenge to keep them flea free. Also on another subject, my friends dog tested heartworm positive and I cannot stress enough to keep all dogs on heartworm preventative year round. They medicice to cure it is limited availibility from England. Read about it from Merial the maker. --- In [email protected], "uncasheville_mom" <yorkiluvr@...> wrote: > > My yorkie Jasmine had a siezure after using Hartz & Sentry. I started using the flea treatment that Tractor Supply carries. You can buy 3 tubes for $9.99 of Advantage 45. I get the 30 lb & under tubes & split it between my three dogs & they get 6 months of flea treatment from those 3 tubes. It's the first treatments that says put it on between the shoulder blades & at the tip of the tail. It works really well! Missy is 23 lbs & Roxy is 5 lbs & Scooter is close to 2 lbs. They've never had an adverse reaction & they've been flea & tick free since I started using it. > Here's a link to it: http://www.tractorsupply com/freedom-reg-45-spot-on-for-large-dogs-2414572 (they didn't have the small dog size online) > > Lisa-- Scooter, Roxy & Missy's mom > > --- In [email protected], "ouidan" <ouida2009@> wrote: > > > > My dog had no use of his front and back legs after the application.
