You're probably seeing my name a lot as I've been posting frequently about Moose and LP lately...but I had to ask this question too!
I posted a thread about our tick problem a little while back and just wanted to give an update and ask for more help!
After finding many many ticks on Moose (but none engorged) we took a trip to the vet and got Vectra, which, according to our veterinarian is a really great preventitive for ticks. We applied the Vectra two weeks ago and it is supposed to be applied once a month. It repels
and kills ticks.
However, this Wednesday, I found 2 more ticks on Moose! Later that night, as I was putting him to bed, I noticed these huge greenish/grayish things in his bed... they were HUGE fully engorged ticks- 3 of them!!
Thursday- I pulled another small tick from Moose's leg.
Friday- I pulled a big engorged tick from him!!
I am thoroughly digusted and so upset that it seems the Vectra is not working at all! And I am worried for Moose's health and our own...I found a tick on myself as well!
Anyone in Florida experiencing this? Moose has never had a tick in his entire life until now. Just want something that works!
Thanks everyone!
