Question

Sylvester was treated with front line and had a reaction


Sent to Pet Experts June 07, 2005 8:39 p.m.

My 8 month old cat was treated with front line for fleas and ticks and has become quite ill since, after consulting a vet --who determined an allergic reaction to the front line-- he continues to be weak and lathargic and has no appetite and does drink and tolerate water---any ideas?? The vet gave him iv fluids and a shot of penicillin 250ml, and one of dexamethasone 4 mg
He was in absolute perfect health until the application...and now I am worried he is getting weaker. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.
