Gold Medal Pets Ear Mite & Tick Control

I'm not sure where this post belongs, so I invite the moderators to move it to the right spot. The video attached to this Facebook post is disturbing, but if it's true that the Gold Medal product caused this reaction in her cat, it's important that we all become aware of the problem:

She took her cat to the vet after making this video, and the cat has fully recovered.

I just seen something on facebook about this stuff too.

Do not ever use ANYTHING containing permethrins on cats even though the manufacturer says you can.

Pyrethrins, and the related permethrins, are toxins that attack the nervous systems of insects and are a widely-used insecticide in flea and tick prevention products used on dogs and cats. Unfortunately, pyrethrins can cause severe and significant toxicity in pets, especially cats.May 31, 2014

There are much safer products to use.  Please read the article at the link above and ALWAYS READ LABELS and understand the ingredients before putting anything on your pet.
