I applied Sentry Pro XFO to my 88 lb. Border Collie (61 lb - ) last night around 11 P.M. He was up the entire night pacing, and running up and down the stairs. When he would lay down, it would be for maybe a ten minute period in which he would excessively lick or bite at himself or lick is blankets until they were soaked. He also was panting more than usual. Then, around 4:00 A.M. He began coughing and hacking. I realized this had to be a reaction to the flea treatment. I gave him 50 mg. Of Benedryl and washed him off with Dawn dish washing liquid. It is now going on 8:00 A.M. He has finally calmed down to the point at which he is resting at the end of the sofa at my feet. His breathing is still heavy, but not nearly as bad as what it was just hours ago. Hopefully, we are out of the woods. He's a very special dog, not only to me, but to all the people he visits on the Alzheimer's unit and hospice patients, he's a therapy dog. He'd be missed by many if anything would ever happen to him.
