Ticks?? Recently, I brought Olive on a trip with me to my Nana's. She has 2 golden retrievers and my parents have a 1 year old shih tzu. All of them are up to date on shots, and take flea, tick, & heartworm treatments. Olive is also up to date on her shots and heartworm meds, but the vet said it was only necessary for her to have flea treatment (not ticks). Olive and I slept in a bed at my Nana's together for the weekend and she said she found 2 ticks in the bed! This concerned me but I also wondered by the ticks were just in the bed and not latched on to either me or Olive. My parents' shih tzu was also on the bed playing with Olive on several occasions. My vet said if it was just this one incident not to worry about it, especially if I can't find any actually on Olive. She said if I actually find a tick or two, to start her on flea AND tick meds. What do you all think? Should I just put her on flea and tick meds anyway?
