ticks

:):) Had two on me this week but not found any on the dogs yet........ they have their Parastar. :B

Maggie has been on chewable for fleas,ticks,and heartworm since we got her in August give them to her once a month with no side effects.

After finding a tick in Nov when we were camping (I had stopped treatment), we went to a vet for a dose and was told to start in Feb and continue through Nov.

We're keeping Duncan very short this year. The ticks here are awful to include deer ticks. I miss his Cavalier hair, but it's for his safety and ours.


BTW...what is the consensus on that new collar that protects for 8 months. Any info? Our vet is advertising a chewable that works for 12 weeks. I worry about side effects.

When humans are long gone and extinct. Insects will still be around.

JMHO, of course.

PS We'd be gone too, since we won't have anyone to feed us, or Veterinarian's to give us the good stuff as well. If you don't know what the good stuff is, .... ask DOC, n' he'll tell you what it is. ... :B

I was hoping the cold temps during February would've knocked some of them out.
Lots of things are changing in the Burbs. When I was a kid, it was rare to see deer. Now, we have a HUGE population of deer in our neighborhood, coyotes, and turkey, too.
I've got to wonder what changes to the insects, plants, and bird species have evolved thru the years.

Yep, the first signs of Spring these days, around my area, are the dreaded TICKS. Twenty years ago ticks were very rare here in PA. Today, they are as plentiful as any other insect. :M
