My dog had an allergic/ toxic reaction when I self treated her for a possible ear infection.
I put some full strength TTO in her ears and 4 hours later she was staggering around and had ALL of the below symptoms listed below.
We ended up taking her to an emergency animal hospital because it was after hours.
$300. and 12 hours later she fully recovered but talk about being scared!
I looked up TTO on the Internet and found this:
Symptoms of Tea Tree Oil Poisoning
Tea Tree Oil poisoning have been reported in both cats and dogs when applied to the skin at too high a dose. If your cat is going to have a reaction to tea tree oil, you will usually see it within 2 to 8 hours following application. Symptoms include:
