So I let the pups in from a potty break and found a tick on Anakin! I have never seen a tick, but I looked it up and that is what it was. I just moved and took the pups for a vet check-up last week and asked about ticks and fleas in the area, I was told they are not prevalent...I think I am going to call the vet in the morning because I get nervous not only for the dog but the ticks getting in the house. Anakin seems like his normal self, just scratching at his head.
We pulled it off of Anakin's head and he had some blood in a small spot. He keeps scratching it, so I checked with tweezers and I couldn't find anything to pull out.
The pups and I have been in this new area for 8 months, and I have not seen any, I also asked the groomer before and she said the same as the vet. I used MinkSheen but stopped because I couldn't get it, does this help against ticks? (It says it is a natural insect repellant)?
Thank you for reading and any thoughts will be appreciated
I don't know if I should put them on preventative or what to even use as where I lived before we never had ticks or fleas.
