Bookmark or Share- Tick treatment? - Puppy Forum and Dog ForumsHeck, it takes an infected Deer Tick (black-legged) to transmit lyme disease within 24 hours of attachment! Also, the American Dog Tick and the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick that carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever only need to be on a dog for 5-20 hours for infection to occur.
- Flea and tick prevention in Florida - what do you use?So nothing natural out there that works, eh? Thanks for your reply, Pitts. I have Dr. Pitcairn's Natural Health book but it seems like with diatomaceous earth, essential oil mixes, homemade diet and manual tick and flea removal it would be a lot of work for me in addition to my mom duties, home educating, household and regular pet care duties.
- My dog had a tick. Now he has a sore. - Puppy Forum and Dog ForumsMy dog had a tick above his eye and we removed it 2 1/2 weeks ago. Today I noticed a bump where it was. When I touched it the fur fell off. It had a small scab that fell off as well. The bump doesn't seem to be causing any pain. I put antibiotic ointment on it.
- Can I use Frontline Plus in conjunction with Revolution (HW)?I'm using Revolution for Heartworm protection, and understand it stops fleas but not ticks. I'm trying some homemade options but when Henry goes to kennels I want to ensure that he's protected from ticks - the kennels are in a wooded area and I don't want to rely on the staff using my homemade options or checking for ticks.
- Tick fever - Puppy Forum and Dog ForumsI don't know about tick fever, but I have two dogs that have had Lyme. One had it when I rescued her 5 years ago, she was like a walking skeleton and I couldn't figure out why she did not eat all of her food. The same week I got her, during a walk I bent over to pet her and touched her jaw, she screamed in pain and ran back towards the house.
