Our dog had an allergic reaction to Frontline Plus. He broke out in welts and sores.
The vet prescribed prednisone and tonight he is panting like crazy, in addition to drinking and urinating frequently. The vet mentioned that panting might be a side effect but I am worried he is panting so fast.
Is there any concern with it progressing to a heart attack or other worse issue? The prednizone did seem to help the skin, but the panting is frightening.

my cat was given bio spot flea and tick drops yesterday and last night she started having seizures and she shakes and cannot walk .
My 3 year old lab-mix (apx. 54 lbs) had a severe/life-threatening reaction to Hartz 4in1 topical flea meds last summer, possibly complicated by some dead Girardia cells that were the only thing found in her blood/stool test. Her heart slowed and she was horribly lethargic for months. It was the first time I had used it because we were going camping and wanted protection from fleas and ticks. She is fine now, but the vet told me to switch to vet-supplied Frontline as he was convinced it was the Hartz. I did so and she began shaking her head within a day (which was her initial reaction to the Hartz). I bathed her as fast as I could and gave her Benedryl for a week. She never seemed to get sick, but the head shaking continues 3 weeks later.
We are going up north on June 5th and I don’t know what to do. I have researched essential oils and it seems that
Lavendar, Lemon Grass and Geranium essential oils between the shoulder blades was most recommended. My questions are:
1. Do they work for fleas and ticks (lymes disease being my big concern)
2. How and how much should I apply
3. Will bees be attracted to the smell, as she is allergic to those too.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
