Last night I purchased Sergeant’s Nature’s Guardian Flea and Tick Squeeze On…. which I thought would be a better alternative to Front line, Revolution ( insecticides on my cats? I dont think soooo).
The smell was strong ( like cloves), and I applied it exactly how it was stated, first to Ced, he like- most cats , hates smelly things, but I put it on him, and he sulked under the bed, I did Convoy next…. He FREAKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!
He started scratching at it like a mad person, and a huge bump the size of a tennis ball developed.
He started acting really weird, so I looked for Ced, and HE started running around the house like he was on FIRE!
They both started making creepy noises.
I immediately jumped in the shower with them and started cleaning it off.
It was only on them for maybe 3 minutes.
They are doing fine today, back to themselves.
BUT….
I did some homework, and apparently the contents of Thyme Oil and Peppermint Oils are EXTREMLY TOXIC to cats, even when applied to the skin. It causes liver failure.
(Google- Thyme Oil Toxic cats, and see what pops up).
I called the company a few minutes ago and the “toxicologist”( Sara) that they transferred me too said that it is not toxic at all, and even so, nothing absorbs through skin to even make it to the blood stream. Which we all know is BS.
I called my Vet, and she like many Vets, did not know of this being toxic ( they all said the same thing, call the SPCA, that is where we get our info from.
Some vets that I called did know that it was toxic, and that is a vet I am going to from now on.
DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
