One of the great things about the Internet is the ability to spread information quickly, what becomes called “viral.” As an animal rescuer, I subscribe to many email digests to get the latest information on animals needing help but also rescuers sharing their experiences that may help us. Below is an email I received from a rescuer in Florida regarding her use of the new flea preventative ProMeris. As with any new medicine, you should consult with your veterinarian before making a switch.

This is a very important message to my family & friends who have
dogs-cats–and to alert you to the hazard of using a new Flea & Tick
Preventative called ProMeris .

This is a new product designed to be a more effective product than
other flea/tick treatments that was just released this year. It is available
thru a vet and not currently on-line. I got ProMeris this week for my 7
dogs (6 Huskies & 1 Golden-Airedale) , and the results were
debilitating for nearly all of them-including me. Since my incident this week, my
vet has pulled it from distribution and alerted the manufacturer, Fort
Dodge .

Here are my results: Within less than 2 hours after applying, 4 of
my dogs had vomited from 2-4 times, 3 were disoriented and stumbling, 1 was
dragging his back leg, 1 was salivating. I had very similar symptoms
like an allergic reaction-my lips were swollen, eyes very red, mucous
membranes such as eyes, nose, and mouth were stinging. I was very disoriented-
dizzy equilibrium and not able to drive. To make this a short story-all 7
of my dogs were admitted to the hospital for veterinarian care, and 3 of them
remained for care, IV fluids and observation for 24 hours. I was in the
emergency room. I’m home now and so are the dogs. We’re all feeling
much better. Vet bills were over $2,500 and Fort Dodge is paying for
these. Not only can the product cause this reaction, it has a highly noxious odor
that permeated the house and is just starting to dissipate after 3
days.

Your dogs/cats might not have the same reaction, but given my
experience-I wanted to help you all become well-educated about the product.

I still advocate for the use of Comfortis as we use it on all our canines over 14 weeks. In looking through Google, I found another site listing reactions to ProMeris.
