Vet.

I feel itchy and miserable just reading about it :cry:

And please make sure they report his reaction to the manufacturer.

Kristine
My maltese had a reaction to a topical (maybe revolution?), and I could not stand seeing her in so much pain. I definitely took her to the vet. I think they gave her some much needed soothing ointment, and she had a permanent bald spot from where it burned her so bad. I think it would have been a lot worse if I didn't take her in. I don't know if yours is as bad. My girl never scratched hers though to cause it. Hope your doggie gets relief fast!


edit: Wanted to add that I NEVER tried a topical on her again. Was NOT brave enough and wasn't worth seeing her go through that esp. with other options. Vet thought it was a good idea, but her skin was more pink and probably very sensitive.
I agree... take him to the vet. A friend recently had a problem with
Advantix... it irritated her dog too. As Kristine says, request your vet report
the adverse reaction to the manufacturer.

I think we just had a serious adverse reaction to a flea product. We're
seldom bothered with fleas and it was the first time we used this brand . My
vet spoke with the mfr. this week and they indicated they've never had any
reports of this particular reaction.
Definitely vet. He might need antihistamines or corticosteroids to settle things quickly.
Poor baby. Hope he's feeling better soon. I get eczema myself so I'm already scratching in sympathy. :cry:
