That's terrible. I've never used AdvantixII. I tried Nexgard for the first time a couple of months ago, until then I had used Frontline. They both seem to work. The only time I have found a tick on mine was when we visited north Mississippi/Alabama a couple of years ago. Maggie and I both got a tick. I don't know that I would spread the medicine over her body, that stuff is pretty nasty, I would be afraid she would lick it. When I used Frontline I would hold Maggie for a few minutes as she would roll around and try to get it off of her.
I think Austin might be worse for ticks than living in the Houston area. We don't have the beautiful landscape in Houston that Austin has (trees, hills, etc.). I also have heard that this is a bad flea/tick season. I hope things get better, ticks freak me out as well.
