I saw several posts about using Frontline and Advantage, but none discussing this. Every time I put Frontline on a cat (I trap,spay and neuter ferals, so we’re talking lots of cats, not just two or three), they start to salivate profusely about 10 minutes later. They get upset by it, and run
around for about five minutes, then they’re okay.
This can’t be good! I called the Frontline customer service number, as well as an emergency vet clinic. Frontline claimed they’d never heard of this. The vet clinic tech. said to just keep an eye on the cats, but that they think Frontline is safe.
Gee whiz, if I put some insect repellant on my kids, and saw them start foaming at the mouth 10 min. later, I wouldn’t be appeased by any of those such “reassurances”, even knowing that the symptoms will go away in five minutes.
Has no one else experienced this? I can’t believe that every cat I dose does this, but that it doesn’t happen to anyone else! They do seem to do it less after the first month of each flea season (I don’t put it on them year round), but that isn’t any consolation.
