So to get to the short of the story, found a tick on Stella Tuesday night on the back of her neck and removed the tick using tweezers (full body came out, nothing left behind). Not sure how long the tick was on there for but if I had to guess I would say 36 hours max. Fast forward to yesterday, she didnt really seem herself with sleeping and being lazy all morning (unlike her in the morning) so on the way home from work I stopped and got her K9 Advantix II to help take care of any future tick issues and applied it to her around 5:30pm. Went out to dinner and returned home around 9pm and again she just didnt seem herself. So I took her to bed with me and usually if shes not comfortable in a spot she'll get up and find her own spot on the bed and go to sleep. I noticed she wasnt moving too much so I rolled her over to me and put her against my chest and she just laid there. I could hear her breathing was a little short and rapid and I also noticed she was shaking (similar to if your cold and get the chills). After about 30 mins of just monitoring her it didnt seem to pass so I took her to a 24 hour vet just to get her looked at. Explained everything to the vet and when she came back in she mentioned that she does have a slight fever and that she believes it was an allergic reaction to the Advantix II (allergic to the Permethrin in the Advantix) which when she mentioned that started to make sense because the breathing and shaking never was present before the Advantix. She said it could be Lymes from the tick however it takes time to develop and that it could show up as a negative result because it might be too early. She gave her some meds and we took her home around 1:30am and she slept through the night with some muscle relaxers. This morning gave her another muscle relaxer and tried to feed her however she wouldnt touch the food which is very unusually for her. I'm going to wait it out till a little later tonight to see if she starts to at least eat a little however do you think this should be something to be concerned about and require another immediate vet visit? I havent dealt with ticks before so i'm fairly new to this. Do any other owners have bullies that may be allergic to permethrin or heard of bullies being allergic to that? Any input would be greatly appreciate from both myself and Stella.
Thanks!
Thanks!
