I know I've been taking an impromptu break from both tumblr and ao3, but I need to come back to give a warning
Do not use Hartz Flea Treatment.
Hartz has a really bad rep of not properly doing their doses of poison in their shit, and it will kill your cat or dog.
It just killed my own cat, and it was quick, like someone flipped a switch. One moment he was walking, the next he was gone.
And no, he didn't lick the flea treatment. He was wearing a cone to prevent that, and he didn't come into contact with any other animal that was dosed. I used the correct dosage, I did it in the correct place, there weren't any open wounds, it was the dosage for cats within his weight range.
I used the treatment on the other cat in our house, who was kept separate from my own, and that cat weighs half as much as mine and was fine. Exact same dosage, exact same place.
We still washed it off of her after that.
I should have done my research before I used that crap, but I didn't, and here we are. Hartz has a long, long list on the internet of people saying it crippled or killed their animals, and a few instances where it looks like someone tried to warp another person's story, to make it seem like Hartz wasn't at fault.
Going back to my break, don't know when I'll be back, but don't use Hartz
Don't use Hartz
