Hello, thank you for your question about Lily. It is possible that Lily's itching could be due to the Advantage product. Advantage generally has an alcohol base to it and some dogs are more sensitive to this, they may begin itching or rubbing after application. I would recommend continuing to monitor Lily for the next 24 hours to see if the itching improves or resolves. If her symptoms continue I would recommend having her evaluated by your veterinarian to look for other possible causes of her itching such as skin infection. Hope this helps, good luck!
