36. Bathe Her

Can you bathe her? If she is having an allergic reaction to the flea powder, you might see loss of coordination, dilated pupils, among other symptoms. In the short term, it would be helpful to remove the flea powder by bathing her. If you can't bathe her, can you at least wipe her down with a washcloth? I'm praying for you and your baby!

4 more hours until I can call to get registered at the vet to be seen Siwsan Jul 2024 #21

Checked online to refresh my memory and 20-30 breaths per minute is in the normal range. HeartsCanHope Jul 2024 #20

Her breathing is very rapid Siwsan Jul 2024 #22

I really would urge you to call the ASPCA Animal poison center. virgdem Jul 2024 #23

Do you have an emergency vet clinic in the area? I'd give them a call ASAP Rhiannon12866 Jul 2024 #26

There are none anywhere near me Siwsan Jul 2024 #28

Do you have a regular vet? I'd give them a call now or as soon as they open to advise you what to do Rhiannon12866 Jul 2024 #29

I'm going to get her booked as soon as the registration link opens Siwsan Jul 2024 #31

I remember and I'm so sorry. Be sure to let them know that you have an emergency. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2024 #32

Oh no, Siwsan. I'm so very sorry to read this. It is probably the Sergeant's flea medicine. femmedem Jul 2024 #27

I know I read that one of the most recommended flea collars was harming cats Siwsan Jul 2024 #30
