| I only had Teddy TWO DAYS when I found a tick on him....freaked out! If you put vaseline on them before you remove them they are easier to get out because they suffocate and try to back out. Teddy will go on frontline before he goes out again. I forgot to ask the vet about it. Is he too young for this medication. He is only 11 weeks old.

| Macy was 10 weeks old when the vet gave me frontline. She has had 2 ticks- we live in prime tickville. I was wondering if getting the lyme prevention shot was something everyone did or not. The vet asked me about getting and I didn't with the understanding that I could if I changed my mind. Has anyone else got this shot for their babies?

| I guess Advantix is good. The vet put it on Kacee June 25th and we go all over and she hasn't had anything that I know of... |

| I'm sorry you found that tick. It really is upsetting, I know, I found one on Chewy. You can pull those suckers out with tweezers, but they have to be destroyed, literally. My vet told me that they split them in half and then flush them down the toilet. My vet gave him the Frontline and she is comfortable at that. She said when she neuters him she will test for any Lyme, but she thinks it will be negative. Get puppy set up on frontline (plus???) and you will be fine. PS> I just read your post again and you said vet told you to keep an eye on it? Did they tell you to remove it? That should be done ASAP. Smother it in vaseline and then pluck it with tweezers.

| This is kind of a strange thing to do but I'll share it anyway. My sister in laws family seems to have a lot of tick problems. When she finds one, she removes it and tapes it to a card with a date. That way if anyone ever gets sick, she takes them and the tick to the Dr. to be tested. Guess this would work with our furbabies.

| You might keep a box of alcohol pads on hand. The tick will back out with the alcohol, then you use the pad to sterilize the spot. If you prefer not to use chemicals on your lawn, then you can purchase Beneficial Nematodes at your local feed store or organic gardening center. These small nematodes feed on the larvae of the tick, flea and grubs. We use them on our lawn and haven't had a parasite in over ten years, without using any chemicals on our dogs. When using the nematodes, you must keep your lawn watered on a regular basis. If you allow your lawn to become very dry, it will kill your nematodes.
