Shitty week for the cats... and therefore for me as well. I will never, ever, EVER use Hartz flea and tick medicine again. They have a serum that is supposed to work like Advantage in the respect that you just put it on the back of their necks and let it go. Well, they have both pretty much scratched at it nonstop and I fear they will continue to and take all the hair off that area. I have tried washing it off of both of them, but nothing seems to be helping. I may have to call the vet soon. Last night I had to give Usul one of the "de-stress" treats just so he'd stop freaking out about it. All of this simply because I am trying to take care of them. They are not acting weird in any other way... no lethargy, no rash or spasms or anything that would require emergency action on my part... but it really seems to have irritated them severely. They never acted like this with the Advantage.

Just bathed them AGAIN and put a call into the vet. Check this out:
