Re: Ticks

Ticks are usually harmless, but large ones seem to imply that is has been there for some time now. You might want to check both your dogs, THOROUGHLY, for more ticks. On the dog you found the big tick on, look for where it might have been, and see if the possible area the tick might have been is swollen, because ticks are known for carrying diseases, such as lime disease. If you do find a swollen, infected area you should call a vet ASAP.
-Hope this helps!!!

Re: Ticks

I too have had a big problem with ticks this year, my dogs run out in the fields and I have found loads of the horrors on them. The tool you can buy is the best for getting them out. I have had my rough terriers clipped right off so that you can see them and also the frontline spray can get right down through the coat. When I remove them I put some antiseptic cream on as they leave a lump where they have irritated. They dont seem to bother the dogs much though
