Meghan H asked:

My dog recently got fleas so by boyfriend got a natural flea remedy called "only natural pet" the all in one flea remedy. it contains diatomaceous earth, sage, eucalyptus, yellow rock root, fennel seed, and rosemary leaf. She has been on this powder cure for about 2-3 days and now is having diarrhea, drools a lot, and had an accident when she was picked up yesterday. She's never had these problems previously, could it be the powder? If not what would you recommend? She is 3 years old, 50 lb, and a chow- german sheppard mix from a rescue.
I have called a vet and she will be going in later today however I'm just a worried pet owner. I have bathed her to get all of the powder off of her and I got advantage. The previous vet I had said it works the best .
Also, the bottle says it is vet approved. I know that could just be bull but just wanted to put it out there if it was in some way helpful.

Keep aware of the pet's health and fitness. Be in the habit of giving him or her a routine exam on a regular basis so you will be able to spot any abnormal conditions and take the correct action well before they grow to be serious and difficult to deal with. When you do need to start treating your pet, choose all natural and herbal remedies to be sure you are choosing a gentle solution to your pet's condition. Minimize the use of strong medicinal drugs that might lead to major side-effects in the long term.

Natural dog remedies are easy to find all over the internet however it is not always easy to know what remedy is best to purchase. Some of the cat and dog foods are actually full of artificial ingredients that could hurt or even kill the animal. Try to check ingredients and buy just the pet foods you've looked into yourself and found to be manufactured with natural, wholesome ingredients. Sometimes switching to a natural diet, in place of commercial pet food, will cause a vast improvement in your dog's health.

Many of the top natural pet remedies can be found on-line. Consider some of the items referenced on our site for a place to begin. It may seem a bit difficult to find beneficial organic products but if you do a bit of research you will discover all the natural pet remedies you need. Most cost a bit more than the products at your supermarket, but isn't your pet worth it?

What do the directions say? There has to be a cautionary note on external use only and what to do if ingested. Anyway, CALL YOUR VET!

That ought to raise the flag for you about home (natural) remedies or questionable herbal cures. Stop the powder, have your dog checked by a vet and treated for this reaction, then start her on Frontline plus, or Advantage. Whatever the VET recommends.

“Natural” does not mean “safe”. It absolutely *could* be the problem!

Take your dog to the vet and get a reliable flea preventive, such as Advantage or Frontline.

Cyanide is a naturally occurring substance, but it’s certainly not “safe”.

I am not a vet, but the diatomaceous earth is also used in pool filters. I wish I could say that natural is always the way to go, but sometimes even in humans natural remedies can have side affects. If the dog is experiencing these problems I would think they would have a direct correlation to the flea remedy. I wouldn’t allow it to go on. I would call your vet and consult them ASAP. My friend used an over the counter flea and tick ointment on her dog and it burnt his skin. So you see what works for some doesn’t always work for another. Good luck I know how stressful this all can be.
