Poisionus flea and tick drops

Friday night at Wal-mart, we picked up some Sergent's Gold flea and tick drops
for Gizmo, our two year old Pekingese. Saturday he was crying, lethargic,
drooling, shaking, biting at himself and not eating or drinking. Google
searches led me to tons of sites, including the ASPCA community
ASPCA COMMUNITY
that all agree that this medicine is poisonous.

I scrubbed him up like the suggested and had to use a baby medicine dropper to
get him to take chicken broth.

We took him into the vet and they scrubbed him up again and gave him subcutaneous
fluids.

Today he was still crying at us, not walking, eating or drinking on his own. The
vet said as the toxic effect wears off, he should start getting back to normal
but if not, we will have to bring him back in.

This evening I finally got him to eat some cooked chopped chicken breast that I poured stock over so he managed to get some liquids down too. He is still twitching and having a hard time walking but it is slowly getting better.

Numerous complaints have been filed by people who have gone through this
nightmare, some have even lost their pets. I will also be lodging a complaint
against Hertz for not pulling this product from the shelves and I will have a
lifelong ban on all Hertz products. Please pass this on to anyone you may know
who has pets. I also included the link to the petition I signed to have the
product removed from the shelf.
