Hey everyone,
My vet gave me Profender to give to Behr (about 7 months old) because she spotted what she believed was a tapeworm fragment on his bottom. I've applied it successfully with Zoey (about 16 months old) so I was confident I could apply it on my own instead of having the vet do it. Stupid me.
About two hours ago, after he had lunch, I applied it to Behr as directed, just between the shoulder blades. Some got on his fur and ran a little down and to the side as he wriggled just as I was squeezing it onto his skin. When I let him go, he licked it once and spit it out and drank some water, but he kept reaching for it over the next 45 minutes. I stopped him every time I could, but I know he got 2-3 more licks in. It was only the bottom bit of the application that he could reach, but I called the vet and he told me to wash off the part he could reach, and then keep an eye out for anything indicating seizures. I decided to rinse off as much of it as I could, being the super paranoid owner that I am. I rinsed with water first, then went back with a wet washcloth (Seriously, if Behr doesn't hate me already...)
He's sleeping now, which is normal as this is his usual sleep time during the day. I've read too many things online about bad reactions to Profender in the past half hour, and I'm kind of freaking out.
Anything you can say will be helpful. Thank you so much!!!
