I found the tick and pulled it off 3- 4 days ago, she seems fine, very active and normal behavior.
I gave her a bath and sprayed tick repellent on her and around the house where she sleeps. Is it necessary to go to the vet and do blood testing?
Late last week, our neighbors did something to cause our dog to be afraid to go into the back yard. Normally, he prefers to be outside and would run all over the yard just because. Recently however, something has caused him to stop doing so. Some of his running would consist of running along the fence line with our neighbor’s daughter, but the other day she did something to our dog that caused him to yelp and run away from the fence. Since, he as been afraid to go withing 50 feet of the fence unless one of use it out with him. We took him to the vet who was unable to find anything physically wrong with him, there were no signs of pepper spray, and the girl and her mother deny doing anything to our dog. Is there a way to find if they are using an ultrasonic dog repellent?
My dog doesn’t tolerate flea & tick medicines; I’ve tried Advantix, Frontline, and a couple brands from the vet with no luck. They all irritate her skin and make her itch more. She definitely needs something because whenever I stop giving her the medicine, the fleas come back. Does anyone have some suggestions?
I have heard that feeding your dog garlic works, but i have read and asked my vet if it is recommended. He said that it may upset their stomach for it being strong, but i was reading on a website that it breaks down their red cell count…. Does anyone know what is a good natural flea deterrent?
