Answer
Hi Jody!  How's your puppy doing today?  If you have not already taken her to your veterinarian, doing so asap would be best.  Although Frontline Plus has the least reactions compared to other flea and tick control products,like Zodiac, Advantage, BioSpot, ect., it still can cause a reaction.  Your veterinarian will be able to tell if this is what is causing her to be painful, or if these symptoms are caused by something else, like a hurt back, pulled or torn ligament, ect.  Please let me know how she does!
