I have 2 pugs and pug breeds too are prone to seizure disorders. In 2007 I used Advantix from Fosters & smith on my 5 year old pug and he had a strange reaction to where his legs would jerk uncontrolably. Although not diagnosed by my vet as a seizure it did seem to me to be nerve related. I have not used Advantix since then but had used Frontline Plus. Well last night I had my 2 year old pug at the vet because he had a full blown seizure. The vet will not agree that it is flea treatment related but I am almost positive it is. I applied the treatment Sunday evening and he laid around all evening and just acted sluggish on Monday. Monday evening I come home and let him out of his kennel and he rolled over on the floor and had a seizure. Had I not had the reaction before I may have doubted it. I was told by a friend vet tech that perhaps it may be the companies I am buying the treatment from. If you buy it from an approved vet they purchase it straight from the manufacturer and keep it in room temperature and have an expiration date on it, whereas, if you buy it from a wholesaler there is no guartee where it came from or how old it is or if it was kept in the recommended storage temperatures. So maybe that is why I have had problems??? I still don't think I will ever chance it again with the spot treatments. Someone had once told me to buy tea tree oil and mix with half water and spray on the dogs and it will keep the fleas off of it. I think I am going to start experimenting with the herbal remedies because it is just pitiful to see my dog to be so miserable and unhealthy because of some chemical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
