They are so easy to treat but the meds are expensive but well worth it. Only one application and bye-bye Mr. Ear mite!!

Rini,

That's so funny. Reminds me of when I brought my last 3 Biewers home. A few days after they settled in. I happen to see a gray thing (no not a hair..lol) on the floor I went to pick it up thinking it was lint. BUT it was like a ball. I looked at it closely and at first I didnt' know what it was. I set it down on next to my PC and it started to walk . I am deathly arachnyphobic (sp?) chills went all up and down my spine. I realized at that moment that piece of lint was a big A*& TICK filled to the gills with blood.
I was so grossed out, but managed to take pics of it to send to some friends. I called him the 'Foreign Exchange Student'..lololol..I had pics of him and everything, not anymore though. I saved him and ran him to the vet the next day to make sure it wasn't a Lyme tick or something..nope just a plain old Tick..but UGLY as sin!!

Anyway, German Mites, Foreign Exchange Student..Pests from another country..lolol..
