Capstar And Panting

[Pjg8r]

i had a sudden flea breakout and to treat it I gave Alex and Tyler Capstar today. I’ve used it years ago but never with these two. About an hour later Tyler started to pant heavily. The vet said that can be a side effect (compared it to the initial rush people get from nicotine) and follow up if it continued. Tyler was fine about 30 minutes later. Has anyone else experienced this? I was planning on using it every other day for three total treatments but maybe I’ll just give it to Alex.

i have never used capstar. so cant say. Normally i use advantage multi, if the cats lick it they will slobber a bit, but never saw any panting. I would keep in touch with the vet, if anything seems off.

Panting is listed as one of the common side effects, but I was unable to track down any in-depth information on how long it might go on, or if a single episode meant not to give it any more. I'd call the vet and ask him if a second dose is safe.
