Dog started vomiting today right after Revolution treatment yesterday, should I worry, Dial A Vet?

Yesterday, I applied Revolution to my dog as part of her regular flea and heartworm prevention routine. Everything seemed fine, but she started vomiting today. Could this reaction be related to the treatment, and is it something that needs urgent attention?

Answer

It's possible that your dog's vomiting could be related to the Revolution treatment, though reactions like this are relatively uncommon. It's important to monitor her condition closely and take appropriate action.

  • Monitor your dog for any worsening symptoms.
  • Consider if any other factors could have caused the vomiting.
  • Contact a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.

Revolution is generally safe and effective for preventing fleas and heartworms, but like any medication, it can occasionally cause side effects. Vomiting is a potential side effect, but if it continues or if your dog exhibits additional symptoms such as lethargy, appetite loss, or distress, a vet should evaluate her. It's always better to be cautious and seek professional advice.

Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.

If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
