How to Stop an Adverse Reaction to Frontline
- 1). Check that Frontline is suitable for usage on your pet. Frontline is designed for use on cats and dogs who are over eight weeks old. Cats must weigh a minimum of one kilogram, and dogs must weigh a minimum of two kilograms.
- 2). Ensure that your pet has no signs of skin irritation or general illness. The chances of an adverse reaction are much higher if Frontline is applied to an already sick animal.
- 3). Purchase the right Frontline pack for your animal. Frontline comes in various sizes, with a version for cats and dogs, and differing pipettes for animal weights. Check that you have the correct dosage for your pet's weight.
- 4). Hold the pipette upright, and snap the top off, along the marked lines.
- 5). Part the hair between your pet's shoulder blades. It is advisable to have someone holding the pet still, so they cannot run off during application. Ensure that the pet will not be able to lick the application area.
- 6). Squeeze the contents of the pipette onto the application site. Be careful to avoid getting the treatment on the hair, as this may cause a sticky appearance.
- 7). Wait until the application site has dried before handling your pet.
- 8). Repeat this treatment once a month for cats, or once every two months for dogs. Do not apply more frequently then every four weeks.
