(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Reason for Contact: I have been using this product for flea control on my cat for close to a year now once a month. He has always reacted as if he was crazy afterward for approximately 6 hours but I figured he was just angry at me for putting something wet on him although I did question whether it was a reaction to it or not. This month I put it on him as usual and he has started to lose his fur in a large patch on his side. After reading on-line about quite a few bad reactions animals have had to this medication I would like to get my money back from your company. I still have two tubes left in my package but will NOT be using them on my animal for fear of a worse reaction.
