Nitenpyram is a short acting medication. It kills adult kills rapidly and should not last past 24 hours. If he is having abrwaction, he needs to be seen by a veterinarian. If an adverse reaction is not the cause of the symptoms described, then a more comprehensive exam and diagnostics may be required to diagnose the underlying cause. If he has been intentionally poisoned, an exam is strongly recommended. The sooner a toxicity is diagnosed and treated, the greater the chances for a positive outcome. Discuss payment plans or alternative financing options, such as CareCredit ( www.carecredit.com ), with the veterinarian or office manager. Friends and family can also be asked to assist you financially.
