I have a little patch of a grassy area in my backyard. It has mostly died because it is so dry here. She went to my mom's who has more grass then I do. I don't let her go to any dog parks because she is not vaccinated. She is always inside except for bathroom. So, I am not sure where it came from. I remember hearing about a guy in my neiborhood that said his dog got tick's or something. He was shocked because he didn't know that they were in AZ. SO, I seen him buying all this stuff. Since Lexi has to have products that won't harm her in her condition, I went & researched it on Yorkietalk & found that some like the Mink Sheen so I got a free sample & I have not used it yet. Well, now I will. I get my yard sprayed regularly, do they have it for ticks too?? |

Yes, you are right. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I may have brought it in. I will wash all of my clothes too. |

that is def a tick, you should keep the tick and freeze it in case your baby gets sick you can have the tick tested for lyme disease. I would put some alcohol on the spot but don't squeeze it. |
Looks like a tiick to me. |
I flushed the tick down the toilet. It was still alive. I am going to check the ears right now. |
How can I be sure all ticks are gone? I have checked her coat several times & need to know if the Mink Sheen shampoo kills them or not. Anyone know?? |
Thank You! 3 Attachment(s) I noticed something that looked like a tick on Johnny's front leg and immediately checked the posts here to get advice. We followed the suggestions and got the tick out...YUK...legs were still moving...gross! I'm also worried there might be more so will look him over frequently and keep an eye on the spot where we found the tick. Deer run through our yard daily but he's had the lyme disease vaccinations so I hope he's OK. Here are more pics to share for reference. Thank you for your posts!:aimeeyork |
I thought we were safe too. Its already frosted pretty good but just yesterday I found a tick on Isis and one on Sammy. YUK I got them out but it left a red spot on both of the babies. I know now that just because it frosts it doesn't mean the ticks are gone..... |
We live in PA. Tick country. I just run my hands over my guys, check their ears, feet, etc., regularly. As others have told you there is rarely more than one. Also, I'd be very cautious before using pesticides around your yorkie. Please do a lot of research first, then decide for yourself. |
You could maybe check with your vet if you can give her a slight amount of garlic in her food. Ticks and fleas don't like the smell and taste and stay away. I take it you can't use frontline or K9 Advantix on her... :animal36 |
Helllllllllllllllp!! I think I just found a tick on my poor dog. I think I got most of it out but it seems like there is still a little black leg/piece of head or something still stuck in the body. The spot is round and red. What do I do? Would it help to put some Hydrogen Peroxide????? I am freaking out I have never had this happen before. Could one of you pllllllllllleeeeeeeease help me. Thanks!!! |
I see that you are from Scottsdale. There are alot of ticks and fleas here in the valley. Once you get them started in your house or yard, it takes a very long time to completely get rid of them. I bath frequently with Zodiac flea and tick shampoo for puppies and kittens and also spray with the Zodiac tick and flea spray. Dont count on having just one. there are probably more. |
