I SAW YOUR EMAIL ON THE DOGPILE WEBSITE. MY VET TOLD ME TO GET ONTO THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE OF THE REACTION MY DOG HAS HAD FROM THESE DROPS. I PUT THEM ON HIM ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO BUT HE HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. THE FIRST 3-4 DAYS HE VOMITED VIOLENTLY. SINCE THEN, OFF AND ON, HE JUST HASN'T BEEN THE SAME. MONDAY I HAD HIM IN AND FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS A MASSIVE KINDEY INFECTION AND WE ARE ON PINS AND NEEDLES-HOPING HE WILL RECOVER. THE VET SAID THOSE DROPS MAY HAVE COMPROMISED HIS KIDNEYS ENOUGH AND HE PROBABLY HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THEM . I USED THEM LAST SUMMER TOO, AND HE HAD SEZIURES ALL SUMMER. I NEVER PUT IT TOGETHER UNTIL THIS WEEK THAT THOSE DROPS PROBABLY CAUSED HIS SEZIURES. IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN HELP US TO MAYBE SUE HARTZ OR AT LEAST GET PEOPLE MORE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I JUST WANT TO BE REIMBURSED . I AM NOT LOOKING TO GET RICH, BUT THESE DROPS SHOULD BE OFF THE MARKET. PLEASE ADVISE.

My 2 ½ year old Scottish Terrier (who I got from Scottie Rescue) has started experiencing hair loss, skin swelling and infection as well as severe itching after using Bio Spot. I took him to the vet yesterday and my vet was very upset that I had been using Bio Spot. I was under the impression that it was safe and all natural, as touted on Dr. Foster's website. I am very upset as the last time I put it on him was in August and he is just now showing symptoms, I cringe to think what else it will do to him. It must be very toxic to just now be causing these problems. I don't think Rylie is out of the woods yet. His skin has multiple infections and he was placed on Antibiotics and prednisone to control the itching.
