We purchased a 10 week old kitten yesterday and used Hartz Control for the
fleas. The kitten became very ill within several hours...after phoning the
vet and describing the symptoms (lethargic, foaming at the mouth and vomiting) he asked
what else had happened during the day. I told him the only we had done was
to use the Hartz Control. He said " I can't believe they are still allowed to
sell that stuff. I know it says it is for cats, but it can make them extremely
sick. You are the second person just today that I have spoken with." Fortunately,
after a shot and an overnight stay at the vet's, the kitten will be okay.
However, I plan to contact Hartz and proceed to ask for the product to
be taken off the market. If needed, I will mount a public campaign...
