The two sites where we got the tick completely out are pretty much healed and not red, just a small bump.
The site where the head is still in has become a small scab. The vet said they can dig it out if I want, but says not to panic - the body is taking care of it and when the scab comes off in a couple of weeks, the head will most likely be with it,
We use Revolution on Sully and there was a tick collar that came with it that supposed to be used in conjunction with the Revolution, but after about 2 hours he started acting a little funny, no energy, didn't want to play. So the vet said the collar in addition to the Revolution was probably a little to much for him so we took that off.
My neighbor told me that they mix a bottle of Ivory Dish Washing Soap with about a gallon of water and spray it on their lawn. They said it keeps the ticks away without using pesticides. I might try this - anyone ever hear of that one? |
