Louis was infested with fleas, so we gave him a flea bath and 'spot on' both Bob Martin treatments. Louis is now in overnight at the vets as he had a nasty reaction to the poison that bob martin products use.
It was touch and go as to whether he would remain stable! His heart beat became irregular as did his breathing and his blood pressure was down. He is now on a drip, and being treated for poisoning. I thought we might loose him, as a vet that I knew a while back had to have her own dog pts due to a bad reaction(same as Louis) to the flea treatment.
Having googled Bob Martin there were lots of people saying their pets had become very ill and many cats had died due to these products. There was no mention of these side effects on the packets as I always religiously check. The vet thinks that we od on the flea treatments but there was nothing to say anywhere that you could not use both the flea bath and spot on together in fact their website encourages that you use all their treatments together. The infestation was really bad and appeared in the space of a couple of days, the vet thinks Louis may have walked through a flea nest-never knew such a thing existed! Hence why we gave bath and spot on, but the funny thing is that most of the spot on went on my leg and not him and i'm fine.
Be warned that Bob Martin products have caused a lot of reactions in dogs and cats.
