Found a tick!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yea i think I might switch once the advantage is done in a couple of months. I would die if I found anything like that on Coco. I wouldn't know what to do. I just started taking her to the park, but I don't let her play in the grass yet.

Frontline does repel both. BUT, you can also comb the coat every day, or more often if you have time, with a fine comb. I don't use a flea comb but a fine tooth Belgian metal 4 1/2 inch comb. Pat introduced me to them and I had a terrible time finding them. I order them 6 at a time. I have one in every purse--use it sometimes myself..I think I am calling them right and I buy them from Revival..
Pat, correct me if I am calling the small combs by the wrong name.

yes i also think that frontline is the best in the market. thats what i use on my baby

Jane has had a few ticks before I am not sure about Jeremiah though. I hope he doesn't get ticks because I would go crazy. We use Frontline and we also use Advantage.

When we first got Baby we found 2 tick and it scared the hell out of me.My husband had remove it.Our vet recommended frontline and we haven't seen another one on any of our babies.They play out on the grass alot when weather permits and haven't found fleas,ticks or mite,so I'm assuming they work really good especially here when it gets pretty hot.

I have Frontlline for my 8 lb Pom, but the smallest weight range they sell is 11-20lbs. this is too much for my 3 lbs yorkie. i heard K-9 advantix is good, because they sell for under 10lbs.

Also, what about Revolution? i'm curious if they sell anything i can use on such a small pup. i like that it protects against fleas, ticks AND heartworm!!

if anyone knows about any of these, please let me know!!
Thanks

We went and got frontline plus and put it on him last night. My understanding is you use every month?? Also, does anyone know how long after you appied it should you wait before bathing?? I got it from my vet but is there any other place to buy it cheaper I know you guys always have good sources!! Thanks!!

I use the frontline plus for small dogs on my 4lb. Maximus and he has done fine with it...the only difference for the bigger dog boxes is the amount...because there is more dog that needs to be covered, it is VERY safe, I went through it with my vet and asked a million questions...I believe revolution is also very good!!!

I just got so scared about finding the tick on him I didn't want to wash the stuff off. I agree I think I will wait three days.

I bought Tick meds from my vet and I thought for sure it was advantix but is Frontline Plus. If I wouldnt have read this thread I would have forgotten that I have to put the Frontline Plus on both my furbabies today! The first month I found another tick on my baby but it was not under the skin it was crawling around by his neck. I dont think it got to even bite him because I grabbed it with a tweezer and popped it on my bathroom counter. There was no blood at all. And the tick was not engorged at all. It's been about a month and I have not found another one on them. They are indoors all day and I check them in their ears,head,neck,back,groin,butt and comb through their entire body. I am going to try brewiers yeast(sp?) . I just need to know what part of Walmart I can get it from! lol

I'm curious what does the Brewers yeast do??

Cookie2 · 07-06-2005, 08:44 AM

It repels ticks/fleas . Some breeders and pet owners swear by this. I will ask someone who uses this on her furbabies so she can give a more detailed description of what it does.

whispersmom2 · 07-06-2005, 08:53 AM

It is the tiny ticks called DEER TICKS that carry Lyme disease. They can be no biggerthan the head of a pin and are extremely hard to find. That is why it is so importand to prevent them from staying on your baby-repel them. That is what Frontline does. The Frontline PLUS has been re-labelled to show it can be used on dogs over 12 weeks and UNDER 11 pounds..

I found a tick on Maggie last night after she had been outside with my dad. He checked her when he took her inside and found 1 that wasn't attatched. I was rubbing underneath her chin and found 1 that was either attatched to her skin or attatched to her hair. After a lot of fighting (Maggie's a big fiesty), my husband was able to remove it and get rid of it. We use Frontline on her but I'm still freaking out! This is the first one that we found that was attatched like that. Should I call her vet just to be safe??
