So I told the owner to go to the vet & get it removed & have him tested for lymes disease. I couldn't stop doing the 'get it off me, feels like it's crawling all over me' freaky dance.
I used Advantix II and found ticks on Magnus. I think I found it right away b/c the evil thing was still alive and kicking when I plucked it. I think someone mentioned that in some areas, the ticks are beginning to show sign of immunity to frontline and advantix.. I really hope that's not true.
