Aren't there some big-name brands of flea medications that can cause some really nasty side effects? I was researching flea meds for my cat a few months ago and I remember people saying there was one in particular that was known for that. I picked Cheristin specifically because it had a lower risk of side effects.

Edit: I think I'm thinking of Nexgard, a google search says that one can cause seizures.

There's a big difference between dogs and cats for nexgard. My vet recommends nexgard for dogs but not cats.
