If you have a pet, and use flea preventatives....

Please read, this is very important info!
I've recently had medical problems with both of my cats, they were showing flu like symptoms. I took them to the vet and at first no one thought much of it and I got some antibiotics. After a week there hadn't been much improvement in their health, so I took them back. The vet noticed a familiar smell of Harts flea medication and asked me if I had put it on him. When I had confirmed it a strange look appeared on the nurse. To my horror this very medication designed to keep him safe and healthy was probably what was making him horribly sick!
I'm further amazed to find out that there are a lot of law suits out for the death of pets that use them, and they're still being sold! I had been told before that those products where not as affective but never that they would harm my cats!
So please if you have pets or know someone with pets, spread the message that products like Harts, are harmful and could even kill your pet over prolonged usage.
