Hi Folks, I recently found out and very painfully for my cocker spaniel, Mitzi, that frontline plus has caused some real issues with both cats and dogs. Cats have seemed the most affected.
If your pet has started losing hair and is itching and you are using frontline plus, I would suggest you immediately stop using this product.
For whatever reason , cats and some breeds of dogs appear to be highly allergic to this anti flea remedy.
What I don't know if it is what set up Mitzi for staph infection of her hair follicles and I will never know for sure.
I do know the last time I used it she broke out in sores all over her body.
What I also found out is that this remedy actually stays in the system for longer than 4 weeks and goes deep into the hair glands.
I have taken all of my pets off of it after witnessing what happened to Mitzi. I am now very selective in giving them anything like this in the future. What this did was have me doing investigative work on the auto immune systems issues we are seeing more and more of in our animals. It is a combination of things including but not limited to over vaccinations, commercial foods and flea products.
I am not stating this actually caused all of her issues, but I believe was an influence on her issues. After speaking with several cat owners whose cats lost hair and were itching and scratching until they bled and after taking them off the frontline grew their hair back and did not have any further symptoms months or years after the fact is a wake up call and alert.
I have ran into a few other dog owners who has issues.
The foods has to do with the additives and preservatives and remember much of the commercial food uses road kill and rendered meat gathered from euthanized animals.
Just something to think about and I would encourage you to do your own investigations. I am really re thinking what i feed my dogs as well as the vaccinations. Unfortunateley, some states require rabies yearly, others every 2 or 3 yrs .
It is thought that this is unnecessary especially after the first couple of innoculations as the titers taken on select animals show they are protected against the disease. But since, it is humans that is being protected against rabies, many states require the repeat frequencies of the rabies vaccination.
It has been reported that some dogs have had anxiety attacks of sorts within 24 hours of vaccinations as well as aggressive episodes and seizures. I understand , on rare occasions, even death. We are bombarding their immune system with so much that there is a breakdown of sorts that is opening them up to all kind of auto immune diseases including but not limited to cancers and massive skin issues and infections.
We are lulled into thinking we are doing what is right for our pets but in fact we are doing just the opposite.
Just like the human health field which now produces millions of dollars to the corporate giants and has fed us so much lies and deception, so has the pet food industry and pet pharmaceuticals has done the same.
I worked in the medical field for 30 yrs in radiology and I witnessed a lot.
All I can tell you is that I have had pets all my life. I cannot believe the complications I have seen within the last 10 yrs that I never dealt with growing up around my pets.
There are some really great veterinarians out there and there are some who are charlatans.
Do your own research.
