Is Revolution flea medicine safe for my Corgi after a vaccine reaction?

Question

I am really nervous to give the flea meds my vet gave me to give to her. He gave me revolution zoetis and I read online that herding and collie dogs can have a reaction to the selamectin. My dog is a corgi and she has already had a reaction to the DHP vaccine. Should I talk to my vet and suggest maybe using a different flea med?

Revolution is safe for collie breeds however it only covers heart worm and flea prevention. Bravecto is an oral flea/tick prevention that can be given every 12 weeks for flea/tick prevention. It has been proven in studies to be safe in dogs with the mdr1 gene mutation and is usually given along with a monthly heartworm preventative such as Interceptor. You can discuss with your veterinarian possibly preventing vaccine reactions (vomiting, diarrhea, facial swelling, hives) by pre-treating with Benadryl. Good luck!
