Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Revoltingly accurate description of a Tick at that! :sick: Dougie, if ye want to be 110% sure, mate. Get a decent shot of it and PM me. I'll bang the picture up for ye. Quote Link to post
dougie_s410k 1 Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 cheers everyone i did suspect a tick before the colour change as im used to these bloody things where i used to work but as it was deeper into the ear its nice to hear from more experienced ferreters...ditch mate if i can get a pic il get it off to you once my mate has got in from work tomorrow Quote Link to post
dougie_s410k 1 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 cheers for all the replies everyone, i went to my mates last night and took some tick sachets and followed the instructions, suprisingly enough the jill has tamed down a hell of a lot within the week ive had her with a good bit of handling, anyway i applied the stuff and got a call late last night and the tick has gone, so now begins the clear up.. just want to thank Ditch Shitter for his advice and its nice to see that there are members out there with a simple yet practical solution to the problem in hand, as im the one who has to pass the info on it takes a huge weight off my mind thanks mate Quote Link to post
Ossie 11 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 one of my boys had a tick in his ear a while back, fell off after a couple of days. ticks seem to go for ferrets ears, probably because it's one of the few bits they can actually bite into! Quote Link to post
