side effects

Ziggy is lethargic.  While she still gets excited about things, she mostly wants to nap. All day, all night. 

I removed the tick collar because I'd seen some side effects listed and maybe that's the effect on her.  But then here's this that's interesting: it can also cause blood glucose spikes in owners.

Wait, what?  Well now, that explains a lot.  Ever since putting this collar on her, my blood sugar has felt totally out of whack.  Even a metallic taste in my mouth.

I'm not sure that the lethargy is really from the collar.  Ever since I got Ziggy, she's been much more energetic in cooler weather than warmer.  HOW IS THIS DOG A LOUISIANA NATIVE??  But she's a 15 month old puppy and she didn't even really try to get me to take her on a walk tonight.  We played some tug and now she's lying on her tug toy beside my flip flops, sleeping hard with deep groans.  She did get a very big bone today, so perhaps she digesting that. 

At what point do I need to take her to the vet?

She livened up later and we cruised the neighborhood a bit at 10 pm.
