My dog's tired & wobbly after tick treatment. Are these side effects?

Question

I had applied an anti tick solution (diluted in water), over the body of my dog yesterday after giving him a bath. After 4 hours he started acting tierd and looking dull (never like this before). Later the day he started limping and his legs started wobbling he was looking different. But no saliva from him and he takes food as always. It's been 20 hours now he still reacting the same. I'm lil afraid after reading simptoms and side effects of the solution. "RIDD" is the name of solution. Help!!!! Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 1 year and 5 months old | 88 lbs

In this product they use Amitraz. I have seen dogs react poorly to this medication. Typically they have vomiting, diarrhea and lethargic behavior. I would recommend taking him to your veterinarian for supportive care. Typically this is not a fatal medication but can make them dehydrated and need medical care! Some dogs just like people are more sensitive to certain medications. I would not recommend using this product again. Hope that helps
