Took her to the Vet and she was put on antib's, the Vet said I REALLY need to apply the Frontline. I voiced my concerns, and he said he understands, but from his side - seeing the diseases first hand, that they are far worse than the product.

After 1 week, Roxy was not getting better and had to go on a stronger antib. Thankful she didn't catch a disease.

My area is VERY tick ridden, so I won't be taking any more chances....
Poor Roxy! I'm glad you found the tick and that things didn't turn out a lot worse.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. Decisions, decisions. I'll probably break down and put the Frontline on my guys.
