Its really red looking but I watching it to see if it fades out and if it dosen't show any difference by monday I'm gonna call the vet. I was hopping to go with out treating for fleas and ticks for December and January but guess not erg. |
Our vet said to give Frontline alll year. That's what we have been doing. Btw, I got a tick on me in the beginning of March this year. In CT it was absolutely freezing so I was wearing tall Ugg boots..jeans...hat...long coat...still the tick got me. I guess he was on my coat and then hopped onto my shoulder while I was taking it off. Point of this (long story--sorry) is that even in frozen conditions ticks are still around. Definitely less of them but we're not taking any chances.
