Already this spring we have seen dogs and cats back from the beach with tick paralysis.
Reports from the coast say that the ticks are the worst seen in many years.
Treat your pet for ticks before you leave for the coast. Advantix must be applied 2 days before traveling down and reapplied every 2 weeks while at the coast.
Alternatively rinse dogs with permethrin before leaving and then weekly while down there.
Frontline spray is the only safe tickicide for cats. Apply 2 days before leaving for the coast and then fortnightly while down there.
Please note that Advantix and Permethrin are extremely toxic to cats. A cat brushing up against or grooming a treated dog can die of permethrin poisoning.
Supplement the tickicide application with close daily inspection of your pet. Feel inside the ears, under the arms, around the tail and in all the crevices and skin folds. Ticks love to hide in long hair. Remove any ticks you find immediately.
If your pet is weak in the legs or drooling contact a vet immediately.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
Some times its a pain in the ass to read what blog owners wrote but this web site is really user genial! .
I am impressed with this site, real I am a fan.
There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I suppose you made various good points in features also.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
