The can have have hazardous effects like seizures, to quote a Michigan veterinary specialist emergency doctor, Loretta Lee who was talking to Fox News, “We typically do see reactions with over-the-counter medications that are spot on medications, and typically what you’ll see are skin reactions, so they’ll be scratching all over once it’s applied. We can see seizures and some animals can die from it,”.
It is always worth while taking note that some animals should be never be treated with anti-flea chemicals, “Puppies and kittens, especially those that are under twelve to 18 weeks. Pregnant animals can not have that medication, as well,Some cats can not have certain medications and so you need to read the packaging.” listed Dr Lee.

# If the pet gets an adverse reaction, bathe the animal with soap and water as soon as possible then immediately call a veterinarian.
# Avoid bathing the animal or letting it swim for 48 hours before and after applying a topical product.
# Don’t apply the product on a sore.
