After pulling 6 deer tick off of Lilah in 12 hours (and one off of me) I have got to find something that will work on these evil demon creatures
Spoke with 2 vets....
Vet #1 said to do the Parastar Plus topical and the Sentinel Spectrum (for HW prevention) or even the regular Sentinel if I prefer
Vet #2 said to keep them on Revolution (what they are on now), and use a flea collar (NOT going to do that bc I don't like those around my younger kids) OR do the Revolution and also apply Parastar Plus for the next 2 months while the ticks are blooming.
I'm not sure what to do! Both Lilah and Magnolia are getting spayed tomorrow so I'm holding off on medications until next week (they were due for a dose of Revolution on 4/1 but the vet was out of stock at the time).....my other dog got her meds on 3/14 so I'll just dose all of them on 4/14 to make it easier to remember. Anyway, I have until then to decide which path to take
A couple of concerns I have:
--Is using Revolution and Parastar Plus overkill?
--Is a topical HW med as effective as oral? And what if they won't chew the oral (vet said it has to be chewed not just swallowed)
Any input/experience would be appreciated! Thanks
