Ever since I applied Tilly's 'advocate' treatment to the back of the neck earlier this afternoon, she's been really shying away form me! She was absolutely fine before this point.
Now,every time I go near her, she moves away, doesn't wanna play, doesn't wanna cuddle, nothing!
You'd have thought I'd hurt her or something! I don't remember her being like this last month when I treated her ...

Is she any better with you yet?
Any chance you were just trying too hard, you know, approaching her and trying to comfort her? Or were you just acting normal and she's flinching away from you anyway?
Best thing you could do is just ignore her for a while.
Don't worry, she'll come 'round soon, I'm sure. Stay casual and don't tiptoe around her or follow her about asking for ...
She's still like it and it was 6 hours ago now! It's horrible, she's acting like she hates me or is afraid. I'm trying not to coddle her though as I don't want to reinforce it, Pip
Thanks Wiz. I posted at the same time as you! As you've gathered she's still like it, and I'm trying to be as normal as possible but I feel awful. I never make a big deal when I flea them I just walk up to them and do it! I don't get it, I hope she's ok soon, Pip
So I just took her for a little walk and she's perked up quite a lot actually! She was her usual self (she wasn't on her tea time walk) picking things up, trotting around etc, so i feel better now. I'm sure she'll be back to normal by tomorrow and that for some reason she really took offence to the flea stuff! Sensitive little thing! Thanks for the walk advice Wiz you should be a ...
Tilly's completely back to normal today panic over! She obviously doesn't like her flea treatment, but it's gotta be better than having fleas! I just wish I could tell her that! It'll be interesting to see if she's the same next month........Pip
Right ok, thanks a lot. When these have run out and I get my next batch I'll ask about Frontline instead, and keep the drontal too. I may need you to remind me nearer the time, I'll ask you again what it is I'm asking for, I've no memory! Pip

is that for heart worms, or different kind of worms? i only use the frontline and interceptor for the heart worms, should i be using more for other worms? (or is it just if they are young?)

Glad to hear it Pip! Silly Tilly Hopefully things will go better next time. Maybe try distracting her while you apply so she doesn't associate it with you?
Interesting! And what a brat! Lol. I've never given mine flea treatment, Kye only got it once at the shelter and Rio never. I figure, if they don't have 'em (and apparently fleas aren't common whatsoever in my area, apparently ) I'm not gonna stick chemicals on 'em. Glad she's back to normal! What a wierdo hahaha
