Can cause neurological side effect - ataxia
BE AWARE!! This is not a safe product and cause severe ataxia with our dog - where she had hard time standing and walking within 1 hours of topical application on the back as instructed. We chose the right product by weight for our dog and follow the instruction and our dog ended up in vet ER and another vet visit the next day costing over $500! We watch our dog super carefully and there were no other accidental ingestion that cause the neurological side effect. The active ingredient in this product paralyze the nervous system in the pests and sometimes can cause cross reactivity with dogs and inure their nervous system. Our poor dog suffered greatly with vomiting, weakness, difficulty standing and walking and only time will tell if she will suffer long term neurological damage. If you chose to use this product I HIGHLY recommend applying a tiny drop on your dog's back and see if they have any reaction with time then proceed slowly with care if no signs of side effect. There are report of similar neurological side effect from similar type of product and wish this could a common knowledge so we can be aware of potential risk. This is NOT a benign over the counter topical medication
