Allergy to Advantix - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We took our 2 yr old sister Yorkies to the emergency room last night after applying Advantix - they were walking with their back end to the side and their back legs were weak. They are still having problems and we are applying Viatmin E oil to them - the vets bathed them to get rid of as much as they could. Still are a little lethargic but are eating ok. Has anyone had this problem and what Flea and Tick meds do you suggest?

It doesn't have often, but it isn't surprising either.
Permethrin, on of the ingredients in Advantix, is harsh.
Frontline Plus would be worth a try.

Are you doing blood work to make sure nothing was damaged internally?
