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. | oh those ticks are so nasty . you could try K9 advantix. that works pretty good for ticks |
