Chihuahua suffering severe itching and seizures.
I bought Seresto collars for my chihuahuas and a corgi. My daughter opted not to use the collar on her dog and discontinued use. At first, like many people experienced, flea control with this collar was slow. We were spotting live fleas for weeks after putting them on the dogs. My dogs wore the collars for eight months. Just before Easter our youngest dog (7 years old) started to violently scratching her neck. Within a day she had scratched the fur off her neck and developed bloody sores. We tried to treat the sores and removed the Seresto collar. The following day she had two seizures complete with strange bark, loss of motor skills, tongue blue and twitching. We went from vet to vet on that Easter weekend to the tune of close to a thousand dollars. Not one vet would say that the collar may be to blame.
I am writing this because a few came forward on this site and mentioned their pets had experienced seizures. While I am without proof that the chemical distribution in this collar may or may not have caused my dog's condition. I feel I should add my name to the pile.
