please help!!! found a tick on my Ceasar!!! We took our two babies yesterday for a walk on the trail around the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California which is 15 minutes drive away form my city. I really don't have my two almost two year olds on any flea & tick medication. With their yearly vaccine boosters I just don't want them to have too many unnatural things on their system/body. As I was doing their nightly coat combing & brushing I freaked out when I saw a tick on :( Ceasar's neck. I called my husband to get the tweezer and asked him to hold him so I could pull it out. I made sure by looking under a magnifying glass that I didn't leave the head and fangs under the skin. I cleaned it and I applied neosporin. Could somebody give me any more suggestions on what else to do to make sure that he would be alright. Now I am so worried!!!:eek: Please....Do you think he would be okay since I was able to get it out and it was not able to really stay on him for more than a day? I would really appreciate any help and suggestions. |
sounds like you did the right thing. next time he gets a tick put alchohol on the tick so it dies and lets go, that way you can be sure you dont leave any in your dog. im sure he'll be fine! |
I'm sure he'll be fine, I pulled one off of Pita yesterday too. As long as you got the whole thing there shouldn't be anymore problems. Sometimes they get a little scab but it'll clear up. |
ledum My holistic vet told me to get Ledum (homeopathic). I think that is the one. Look it up online. Type in Ledum with lyme disease or something. I looked it up and this has been the closest cure to lyme disease I read. My vet said that it takes care of it in the first so many days of a bite...so she used it as a precaution however...Spark's tick was a dog tick (white was on the tick) and they usually don't carry lyme disease. suz |
thanks everybody. Thanks a lot to all of you. It's just nice to hear some comments whether good or bad from other people. My husband called the vet too this morning just to be sure that we really don't have anything to worry about. He said that what we did was right and it is really rare for dogs here in our area to get Lyme Disease but he is still asking us to pay close attention to him for five days. Hopefully, God willing, he will be fine. Again, thanks a lot to you who responded to my cry for help.:) |
