Once my youngest daughter kept complaining about her ear hurting. I looked and looked, found nothing. Then she put her head on my lap and under the lip of the ear I saw the tick. I was hysterical, of course, hubby was at work. He's a fireman. I called the station and told him what was going on, that I was terrified it would crawl into her ear and he told me the same thing. Get a qtip, a glob of vaseline and leave it on until the tick lets go. It smothers them and it worked like a charm. I'll never forget that experience. I found a tick on my furbaby, who was on Advantage when I got her. My vet recommends Frontline Plus because it kills ticks as well as fleas and that is what my two are on. I have never seen another tick, flea or anything on them since changing to Frontline Plus. |
