My year and half long haired Shiba Inu is having a reaction to Bio Spot. We have taken him to the vet, he is put on muscle relaxent, we have bathed him with a mild shampoo twice to try and get any remaining chemicals off him, he seemed to be getting better then on Sunday he started to act bad again. He is hiding, rapid breathing, fast heart beat, we bring him outside to go potty and he shuts down. He hids under our swing or he just lays on the ground and doesn't move. He is eating so so. We called the emergency vet yesterday and they suggested we give him benadryle and use a hydrocotozone cream on the area where we applied the Bio Spot. What more can we do to help our little guy? It is breaking our hearts to see him like this.

Call the company that makes the product and ask to speak with their staff veterinarian. The 800 number should be on the package. I doubt that this is the first time they have seen this reaction, which is fairly common in cats. Aslo, give your dog homeopathic Nux vomica 30c hourly until the symptoms subside. This should also be reported to the FDA through their online website.

Thank you for getting back to me. I know it may be hard to say from what I have posted, but should we be concerned about any possible health issues with him because of this?

From what I have seen in cats, there are no residual problems once they recover from the original effects. However, the manufacturer can give you more information, so please contact them.
