with this product and she fitted and died.the vet says this is happening alot,so please dont use it.xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
My cat, Ezmee, reacted very badly to Bob martin flea treatment just over two years ago. Within minutes she was frothing at the mouth, whilst on the phone to the vet whilst OH was washing her off she clawed over his back and she began running into the wall and within 15 minutes of having the treatment she was having a full blown seizure.

She was washed again at the vets and ended up spending three days in on a drip to clear her system.

It's left her quite badly affected....she will twitch when excited or upset and a lot of household cleaners, body sprays and perfumes on visitors will make her tail twitch, which seems to be her warning sign...within minutes her eyes go funny....she screws them up and begins shaking, something she never exhibited until the B.M episode. We have to get her out of the immediate area or she starts dribbling etc. We've always intervened before it goes any further so I couldn't say whether these alone are enough to trigger another seizure, but flea treatments on any other animals/furnishings/beddings will set one off within minutes.

Since the 'episode' the only flea treatment she seems to be able to tolerate is Adocate, which is prescription only, and all of the cats have to be treated with this as she only has to walk past another cat wearing a flea collar etc and will begin foaming at the mouth etc...It really messed her up and takes a lot of managing.
 
My cat started foaming at the mouth after Friskies CAT Spray.
I think you have to be careful where you spray them as Cats Will Lick themselves afterwards. Always put a spot under the coller on the back of the neck, where cats cant lick
 
we are trying to get it banned we went on bob martins web site last night and they know this is happening!it attacks the nervious system.it is happening in dog and cats.xx :

What is it that causes the reasction? Surely it should be banned.

it is connected to the ingredients/chemicals within the product and the cats licking and inhaling and becoming intoxicated...the link below may give u a better insight.

Bob Martins active ingredient is Pyrethrin in the Flea Spray.

http://www.provet.co.uk/Petfacts/healthtips/pyrethrin.htm

A broad spectrum insecticide from the Chrysantheum flower but can be highly toxic to susceptable cats and dogs. There is a synergist in their formulation to enhance the action. Easy to OD a cat by enthusiastic use in the home of the spray!

Bob Martin use Permethrin in Spot On for Dogs, the synthetic version of Pyrethrin. This is HIGHLY toxic to cats.

They sell Pyrethrin over here in the Super markets in the form of home flea treatment. My Dad goes ab so bally lutey with it !!!!! Is it dangerous to Humans?
 
I second this, I used the spray on my cat and it made him take convulsions and turn hypothermic, it cost me £150 in vet bills and he only just made it.

This spray contains pymethrins which is toxic to cats!
