We do occasionally see deer on our front lawn. He's on Revolution, which is also supposed to be effective against the American Dog Tick. No one can tell me whether that effectiveness extends to deer ticks: I'm guessing it doesn't or else they'd be marketing it that way, too. I'm really tempted to cancel the appointment until I can walk in 100% convinced that I'm doing the right thing. My heart hurts. It all feels so "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

I personally would get it but I would give Benadryl 30 minutes before.
