Anyone else having problems with ticks this year? I found one on my dog the other day. This is the first time any of my dogs have had one. So this is the first time I had ever seen a tick. When I pulled it off of her I noticed it took a bit of her skin with it. I hope it heals up ok for her. I have a lot of weeds behind my shed and wouldn't doubt she got it there.
I read up earlier on the ticks. And the dog tick isn't a carrier of lyme disease like the deer tick is.
So far no change in her habits. She's eating and drinkng fine. Still running around with the dogs next door. So that is a good sign. She is due for her yearly anytime now. So I will mention it to the vet soon. Hopefully next week I can get her in.

I didnt get a chance to go to the pet store the other day. I am hoping to go tomorrow. I think she has another one on her right hind area. And this time she will not let me look at it. She was no trouble removing the one on her snout the other day.
I looked on the net to see what tools looked like. They do look easier to remove the ticks with that tool.

I just did some more searching about ticks. I have used this with fleas and worked great. And this also good for ticks too. I have used both kinds, one bought at the vets and off the counter bought at pet stores. I didn't see much difference other then the price. This is the stuff you squirt between their shoulder blades.
