i discovered a tick on sapphie last week...
and this morning, the maid caught one. i decided to do a check on her body after i returned from work and... omg! i picked a total of no less than 20-over ticks! it was the most i ever caught from her body! my maid told me she managed to pick 2 from the room when she swept the floor and i decided to do another check. and guess what... i picked up 3 more on the bedroom floor!
terrible! i guess it is that time of the year again where she'll get tick problems. it always happen towards the end of the year when the wet season starts. i will have to start the routine of combing through her fur daily for the next few weeks to ensure no ticks are left behind...
darned!
Hi Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteWow! I would be freaked out: I know people who are infected by tick born virus (Lyme disease from deer ticks).
Ok, I will stop complaining about our early winter (new records for low temp and snow for this time of year); better to deep freeze nature each year ;-)
Best wishes, Edwin
have you tried giving those big brown tablet ( i forgot the name ) that smells like biscuit, can get it from the vet, if you give her once a week for about 3 weeks, then continue like once a month,it will get rid of those ticks...
ReplyDeleteit should be fine la. mechanical removal of ticks is perhaps the most effective...
