It has gone down and is almost gone, but now he has bumps inbetween his shoulders, on his head, between where his front arms are, on the top of his butt a little before where his tail starts, and other places. Last night my dad put "Frontline Plus for Dogs" on him inbetween his shoulders, but we put it on our other two dogs, and nothing happened. Also, we live in Florida and there are toads and these BIG brown/tan slimey frogs and i have heard that id a dog ate one of then it could really hurt them, but nothing (but what I have said) bad has been happening.

maybe he had an allergic reaction. After the 4th of july last year, my dog got swollen and had bumps on her forhead. The fireworks didnt do good.

Your dog may have had an allergic reaction to the frontline, I would call the vet.
My first thought was insect bites i.e. bees, wasps, spiders, ants....but if it correlated that closely to the frontline I would guess that is the cause.
Don't use this product again on this dog until you have spoken to your vet, allergic reactions can get worse over time and can be life threatening.
FYI it is generally O.K. to give dogs benadryl to counteract an allergic reaction, they can actually take a human sized dose as they react to the drug differently than people. They will get sleepy though.

I live in florida too, and once something like this happened to one of my cats. Turned out he chewed on a plant, and apparently had an allergic reaction- and actually had trouble breathing and his eyes swelled shot. It could be the toads- maybe he licked one or ate one, and was allergic. There are some weird plants and bugs and "stuff" her in Florida- that's for sure!

Have you ever put frontline on him before? Sounds like he had an allergic reaction to it. Dogs have different allergies, just like humans. So what works on one dog may not work on another.

take him to the vet so they can tell what he is allergic to! My guess would be the frontline cause thats what my dog did....all was fine!
