Directions For Use
Directions for Use
One treatment prevents future flea infestation for 4 weeks. Existing pupae in the environment may emerge for 6 weeks or longer after treatment is initiated, depending upon climatic conditions. Therefore, it may be necessary to combine Advocate treatment with environmental treatments aimed at breaking the flea life cycle in the surroundings. This can result in a more rapid reduction in the household flea population. The product should be administered at monthly intervals when used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis.
See datasheet for treatments of other parasites.
For external use only.
Remove one pipette from the package. Then hold the pipette in an upright position, and twist and pull off the cap. Reverse the cap and use it to twist and remove the seal from the pipette, as shown.
For dogs up to 25 kg:
With the dog in a standing position, part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Wherever possible apply to undamaged skin. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze the pipette firmly several times to empty its contents directly onto the skin.
For dogs of more than 25 kg:
For easy application the dog should be standing. The entire contents of the pipette should be applied evenly as 3 or 4 spots along the top of the back, from between the shoulders to the base of the tail. At each spot, part the coat until the skin is visible. Wherever possible apply to undamaged skin. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and gently squeeze the pipette to expel a portion of its contents directly onto the skin. Do not apply an excessive amount of solution at any one spot, as that could cause some of the product to run down the animal?s side.
Side Effects
Side effects of Advocate Spot On For Small Dogs less than 4kg
Use of the product may result in transient pruritus in dogs. On rare occasions greasy hair, erythema and vomiting can occur. These signs disappear without further treatment. The product may, in rare cases, cause local hypersensitivity reactions. If the animal licks the application site after treatment, transient neurological signs may be observed infrequently (see section 4.10 in the datasheet).
The product tastes bitter. Salivation may occasionally occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment. This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within some minutes without treatment. Correct application will minimise licking of the application sites.
The product may in very rare cases cause at the application site a sensation resulting in transient behavioural changes such as lethargy, agitation, and inappetence.

That's really quite strange... I've spoken to my colleagues here, and none of us have come across that before!
If puppy is otherwise healthy, I'd suggest you monitor it, and bring it up with your vet or veterinary nurse when you have your next routine check-up.

MyVetMeds - Q. can it cause the liver to swell? my dog had a shot of spot and he was 2days less than 12 weeks..now his skin above the stomach is swelling..its kind of darker in color and he cries when it is touch..thanks!
- A.
You need to contact you vet URGENTLY, as this sounds like something much more serious than a simple reaction to the spot on (which is designed to be safe in puppies over 7 weeks of age), and might be a sign of a life-threatening bleed into the belly, or a damaged spleen.
