HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In the US Ascabiol/Lindane is not used. It can cause the symptoms you are describing. I can't find much on if this will be permanent for Zoo or not. All I can find is hours to days. If he is not eating or drinking he needs a feeding tube to give him time. If he doesn't eat that is just as life threatening. I am so sorry that Zoo reacted to this drug in such a horrible way.
