oh dear! our rosie's been acting really strange since we gave her an Advantage Flea Treatment last night....she didn't sleep with us on the bed (which she always does) last night, she is trying to bite a little when i try to pet her (which she never does), she's not really responding to our calls for her (which she often does)....and this morning, she started climbing the screen part of the window i had open for her, and the screen must not have been secure because as she climbed higher and i was trying to get her down, she fell outside, with the screen!!! mind you, she is an indoor cat, and still fairly new to us (3 or 4 mos). she has never been outside. i thought we lost her for good! i grabbed my keys and ran outside (so i wouldn't lock myself out of my apartment like i've done at least twice already!!) and started calling her. i heard her meowing, and i thought maybe she ran up a tree because she was so freaked out, but then i went around back to find her climbing the screen to our sliding glass door!! i finally got her down from there and held her close and securely, and brought her inside. she jumped down and ran to hide. i know she was freaked out, but she's still hiding and she won't come out. i went to try to calm her with one of her toys and at first she started to respond playfully, but then she got scared and ran out from under the bed and away from me. and when i went to walk towards her, she ran right back under the bed to hide. she'd been there ever since.
so then i started looking up info online about reactions to Advantage, and i found a lot of scary stuff out there from cat owners that have had similar experiences with their cat acting strange and withdrawing after a treatment.
does anyone have any info on this? input? is she going to get better? i read that some of these people's cats were sick for days, and i didn't read of any of them getting better without going to the vet? i don't know what to do! is she going to get worse? i know she was trying to clean herself too and may have eaten some of it from cleaning with her paws. i'm not going to use that stuff anymore. i am so upset!!!!
please help!!! any information/input would be helpful.
thanks so much.
