vld 62 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 LArge ones - I pull them off. If you ever get loads of small ticks like my jrt did - I didn't know how to get them all off as they were so small so took to vet - she sorted it but said if it ever happened again to dab nail varnish remover on them - anyone heard of that?

paulus 26 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 twist them anti clockwise then the whole tic will come out as for lots of tics benzo works atreat if you can lay your hands on it at the minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
events co-ordinator 353 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 When you squeeze a tick it can regurgitate it's stomache contents into the host animals bloodstream also applying a chemical can have the same result I know vets should know but if advanced heart failure nurses don't have the information re tick borne diseases and the massive damage it can do to the human heart its not a side effect that is generally known. Thats why if you see Bada at any gamefair or show go in and talk to them they deserve our support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ady-b 94 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I use a plastic 5ml medicine spoon with a small 'V' cut in the end, you just slide this under the tick as close to the dogs skin as you can get and then gently lever the tick out, removes the whole tick quickly and easily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scalesntails 118 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 When I used to import snakes we used to leave them to soak for 48 hours in vegetable oil and this would kill all the mites/ticks etc they had. Not sure you could get a dog to sit still for that long though. :whistling: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
