Ticks

[howdeeposxxt 1,449]

Pregnant bitch 8 weeks small number of ticks I've done some research getting yes and no answered so I suppose what I'm looking for has anybody treated a bitch while so late in pup and if so what was the treatment , brand etc....

used to smear them in vaseline (but not on pregnant bitch) they breath out the arse as the head is buried. coating them in vaseline stops them breathing and they drop off in a few hours...

I've only ever had them on ferrets never had 1 on a dog.

And as Yokel said.

If only a small number I'd just remove them with a tick hook. Takes seconds.

[howdeeposxxt 1,449]

Great idea I have removed them and got the heads, changed bedding. I'll apply the lube and grease her up and hope they dont return and if they are any little ones still their hopefully the vas will work

[howdeeposxxt 1,449]

Seem the most natural way for her.

get the de ticking tool from the vets, no need for chemicals

I use benzyl benzoate 50/50 mix. But i wouldnt risk it with a pregnant bitch. Frontline can be used on a pregnant bitch.

Frontline

[Corkman 944]

Frontline for the bitch or frontline spray for very young pups.

Use tip of a hot match and just touch the tick with it. They fall right off head aswell. Must be the burning on their ass that shocks them ?

Sprinkle with salt makes them thirsty when they let go to look for water you can shoot them with air rifle works for crabs as well must be a good shot though lol

Big size human toenail clippers is the only thing i could remove them without chopping head off slide it in grabs them right tight to skin and head cant be left behind just dont squezze clipper fully tight that you snip off the claws,never failed yet.

would you use .22 or .177 and which gives the most humane dispatch i feel sorry for wounded ticks crawling around floor.
