As far as the color grey...that is all I have ever found on my Bentley and he isn't out more than to potty. I switched from Frontline Plus to Advantix II and he hasn't had a flea or tick since.
Yep, $200.00 and no antibiotic, a month later when I received my monthly medical statement I saw what they charged, I near fainted lol.....When they are grey I read is when they are engorged with blood, it had to be feeding quite a while. All my dogs were always on Frontline plus, they never had ticks or fleas, This is Cody's first summer with me, he's had 2 doses of Frontline and no fleas or ticks. Some members stopped using Frontline and started on Advantix because they wrote the Frontline stopped working in their area.

You use a tweezers and grasp the tick close to the skin and pull it out, yes, I saw the little %$@$^ head.
