Mother reported incident. Mother applied advantage 10 to pet Nov 10 2009 around 10 pm. Her son was cuddling with the dog on the evening of Nov 11 2009. The mother feels the son developed hives within 30 minutes of contact with the dog. The hives affected his arms, neck and upper torso and then spread to his upper legs once he had a warm bath. The dog has not been bathed so the product will remain on the dog for at least 4 weeks. The son was taken to the doctor Nov 13 2009. He did not respond to benadryl and the doctor presribed cortisone cream. The son has not increased in weight from 24 kg in 18 months and the reason for his failure to gain weight and the hives is being investigated.
