Flea medication story on the cover of The Wall Street Journal

Shot a story recently about Jennifer Croezen and her dog, Saki. Jennifer had used a flea medication called "Bio-Spot", one of those liquids you put behind a dogs shoulder blades, on Saki. The next day, Saki ended up getting extremely sick with a terrible allergic reaction and almost died. The dog required blood transfusions and over $1500.00 in treatments. The flea medication manufacturer claimed that the dog had a pre-existing condition that was the cause of the reaction.

Apparently there are a lot of these kinds of reactions happening to other pets though.
