flea/tick spray

when i first sprayed pandy for fleas i used a spray that had something in it starting with p? i'm not sure what it was but i only used it on her twice because it made her sound like she had a croaky or wheezy breathing, he eye's looked like they wee glowing except it was during the day and she would move her head sideways everynow and then like she couldn't see properly

i haven't used this stuff since, the only reason i used it a second time is because i didn't know these symptoms were caused by the spray.

it's been ages since this happened but i thought i'd bring it up to see if it has happened to anyone else and if so, why do they sell the stuff??

I am not sure why it would. Is it over the counter? I won't use over the counter stuff because of what it did to my kitty. Does his eyes seem to be ok now?

I NEVER and I repeat NEVER use over the counter pet products on my cats. I have to many horror stories in my files about what has happened to people who buy spot on flea repellent, flea collars and flea sprays and shampoos. Not worth it, if my vet doesn't carry it, I don't use it.

I agree with you totally. Never nothing that my vet don't have. Then I still question him and he assures me it ok. I just had very bad experience and its changed my cat

Thanks guys,

i obviously won't be using that stuff again but if i need to use any flea products again i'll go to the vet, it was scary and i wasn't an active member here at the time otherwise i would have asked you guys.

why do they even sell stuff that does stuff like that to cats?

We use over the counter products, Frontline & Advantage - They are the best. Have you given them a try Felicia?

i tried advantage a while ago and it was great, i forgot about that stuff lol

no bad side effects at all and it worked great, can't belive i forgot

They put alot of stuff unfortunaly on shelves thats illegal to and for humans. same as cats it can be harmful. I love advantage that I get from the vet.

Please just use caution, there are counterfeits to these as well, and the counterfeits do nasty bad things to cats.

I had NO IDEA the over the counter stuff was so dangerous! How can they sell it without some huge warning on it!!?? How can they sell it at all??? I'm terrified now after using biospot to treat both my cats last weekend! The stuff doesn't even work!!!
