My dog is drooling after flea dip. Could it be Triatrix toxicity?

Common side effects of the medication include sedation and a dry skin and haircoat. Serious side effects include low blood pressure, decreased body temperature, elevation of blood glucose, dilated pupils, slow heart rate, slowed intestinal rate, ataxia, prolonged sedation, vasoconstriction, vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures. Death may occur. toxic dose depends on the amount ingested, the size of your dog and the tolerance to Amitraz. i would recommend taking him to the vet immediately just in case.

Hello, sorry to hear about Tripp. It sounds like he may be having a reaction to which ever flea medication you are administering. Often, these medications can cause tremors and trembling as a side effect or even when toxic doses are administered. Discontinue the medication, if he improves then he was likely having a side effect, but if his sigs continue or if they get worse (seizures, non-stop shaking and trembling, excessive salivation) then have him seen immediately. Other potential causes may not be associated with the medication and may be a sign of flea allergy dermatitis (allergy to the flea saliva) especially if you have seen fleas on him. Since it is unclear wether his current flea medication is giving him side effects, then your veterinarian may consider using an alternative medication. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can call the number on the back of the Hartz product. It is free advice on the product. They can tell you if the drooling is related and if you have to worry. It is possible she licked some of it off her fur. Personally I would recommend washing the product off with Dawn shampoo, repeatedly at the location of application. I wouldn't use it again for sure. I do think she will likely be fine. That number on the package is very helpful. I wish Pantera the best!

In this product they use Amitraz. I have seen dogs react poorly to this medication. Typically they have vomiting, diarrhea and lethargic behavior. I would recommend taking him to your veterinarian for supportive care. Typically this is not a fatal medication but can make them dehydrated and need medical care! Some dogs just like people are more sensitive to certain medications. I would not recommend using this product again. Hope that helps

These are concerning signs of a possible intoxication. Immediate check up is required to treat the signs and reduce as much as possible absorption. Metaldehyde (used in snail poison) and intoxication from a long list of other substances can cause these signs. I am afraid it is impossible to be more specific than that. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

The drooling could be a result of nausea or irritation in the oral cavity. We can also see drooling with some toxins (for example organophosphate toxicity). I am not sure what kind of poisoned fly he ingested, if it was poisoned with a chemical or the fly itself made him sick (here in the US we wouldn't see a toxicity from ingesting a fly but I am not sure if there are different types of insects in your region). I would call your vet to let them know that the kitty is still drooling. They may say it is a normal side effect or they may want to further examine his mouth or give him medicine for nausea.

Hello, Drooling in dogs can occur after they taste something bitter or as a sign of nausea. If Royce licked a small amount of cleaner and is now drooling, I wouldn't be too worried. I do not think he would have ingested enough to be harmful. If Royce's drooling is also associated with lethargy, disinterest in food, vomiting, or diarrhea, I would be more worried about possible continued GI inflammation that needs to be addressed by your vet. The most common side effects of a depo shot (steroid injection) are increased appetite, thirst, and need to urinate. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
