re: Dog just had a seizure

Obtuse1, any particular flea meds that you noticed that caused this? I recently tried some different drops on my Collie and the next morning she was acting like she was being attacked by something buzzing around her head. Wouldn't call it a seizure though. This went on for a few minutes and she settle down but started again about an hour later. All this was about 12 hours after using the drops. Any particular brand you use that don't have these problems? Thanks for the help.

Hartz Ultraguard and Frontline Plus have been linked to seizures and burning skin.
Simparica Trio and Bravecto are vet recommended.

The one we were using was Frontline Plus. We just avoided any more topicals or orals for that dog.
Bravecto, Credelio, Nexgard, and Simparica have all been linked to seizures/tremors as well in some dogs. We actually use Credilio for our other dogs but the literature says do not give it to dogs prone to seizures and my vet ask before giving it. Fluralaner, lotilaner and afoxolaner are the isoxazoline class drugs that seem to be the link in these.
My non-vet suggestion would be any flea treatment you use be aware of the timing and any strange symptoms. It seems to be rare and I was told over a decade ago it was not the issue but it has become clear since then that it can be an issue.

This is the culprit more often than not. Did you try a new one recently? Sometimes takes weeks before it will cause the dog to become ill/seize. Had the same issue with an elderly cat. Used Frontline for years then the vet gave her the 6 month shot. Started seizing a few weeks later. Went back to Frontline and she has no issues now.
