bad reaction to spot on treatment?
Hi my staffy ronin was given bob martins spot on, it was for fleas and tics, which was applied to his coat in june. We noticed hair loss where we applied this but recently on top of his head has got dry and itchy and looks bad started about 2 weeks ago (pics below). I didnt know at first but have read the fleas and tic repelant by bob martin is rubbish and causes problem but this is months after. Any advice will be much appreciated and if you think he should goto vet.

Yes I've also heard it isn't very good. Is that the spot where you applied it? Have you put anything on it?

Bob Martin spot on has very poor reviews - but as you used it in June and it has only just appeared I would be slightly concerned x

Rocky also had a bad reaction to one of their treatments a few years ago, needless to say haven't used it since. I would also pop along to see the vet and explain all that has happened.
We now use effipro flea treatment which hasn't caused any bad reactions to Rocky so far.
