Hey there! First, try not to worry too much. These things can happen, and it's good that you're on top of it. Whether or not it's dangerous really depends on the type of flea medication, so it's wise to monitor Bella closely for any concerning symptoms.
Keep an eye out for:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or unusual tiredness
- Tremors or unsteadiness
- Excess drooling
If Bella is showing any of these more serious signs, it's definitely time to call a vet right away. If she's acting normally, like her happy Bella self, you can probably just keep a close watch for now.
In the meantime:
- Ensure she has plenty of water available to stay hydrated.
- If any medication got on her fur, gently wash it off with a mild soap and water.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
