Flea Repellents-What to Do if Your Pet or Livestock Has a Bad Reaction
What to do if your pet or livestock have been poisoned by accident or have a negative reaction to flea repellents or other medicines. Call your veterinarian or livestock vet right away. If you have recently given your pet medicine, flea or worm treatments or if they could have possibly got into or been exposed to a poisonous substance be sure to tell the veterinarian this when you call.
You need to make sure you get the correct flea repellent for the kind of pet you have (dog, cat, chicken, etc.) and administer it exactly as it states on the packaging.
If your pet has an adverse reaction you need to contact a veterinarian, your local animal emergency clinic or National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) 1-888-426-4435.
As an emergency treatment you can administer UAA Gel which contains activated hardwood charcoal. (I have used this several times and it works very well), (NPIC, 2017).

What to do after Your pet is out of danger
After your pet is out of danger you have a responsibility to contact the product manufacturer to let them know about the adverse reaction your pet or livestock had to their product. Legally they are required by law to submit these reports to the Environmental Protection Agency. You should also report it to your states pesticide regulatory agency. Doing this will help manufacturer's and EPA improve the products so this doesn't happen to other pets.
