Yesterday I wrote to Dr. Jean Dodds, her website is www.hemopet.org, asking if Frontline Top Spot is safe for epileptic dogs. Her response to me was, "It should be safe – although one never knows until you try it."
I have been reluctant to apply it to Brady, but will soon probably have too. We did find a tick on him filled with blood. I worry about seizure triggers, but at the same time worry about him getting Lyme disease, not to mention a flea infestation. I have heard that there are many cases of it out there this year. I have used it on him in the past so it should be okay. It's just that with all he has been through recently, the decision to apply the Frontline Top Spot has been difficult. I have read that Frontline Top Spot is a safer alternative to Frontline Plus for epi-dogs since it doesn't contain as many chemicals. Still it seems to me that it is a double-edge sword decision to make.
The decision to apply it hasn't come lightly, but contracting Lyme disease would only add to his issues.
