Hi im sorry to hear that your lillte guy has some parasites..
I dont think myself that they r ticks..
If they are into the skin with their head then it is a tick..
If they just walk and are not stuck into his skin then its probably something else..
So ask you vet if its parasites or that he thinks they r ticks...
Cause ticks you can remove yourself with a special tool. ( gripper or something, i dont knw the word.. im not from usa.. so i dont know the english word.. but its specially for ticks.)
When you have the ticks removed.. or 1 or maybe more.. its mostly gone, or you must walk your dog in an area where there are ticks alot.. like bushes or grass or parks..
Good luck and kep us updated,. i hope my post helped that its probably not ticks.
Love Priscilla

The vat saw them and called them parasites. They are VERY small redish head and white baggy body. None of them are big and full of blood.
I got some Frontline for the neck and out that on last night. I checked Max around the ears and eyes this morning that the d*amn ticks are still there. Some were dead and some still alive..
Vet told me NOT to wash him as he is only 2.5-3 months old. I dont want to loose this little guy. I have only had him for 5 days.. Can anyone tell me what I can do to kill these ticks or parasites????
Vet told me he could not remove them we could only use the Frontline for now because of him age! |
