Nicole... Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Ok I'm confused. I always thought ticks came out when the weather warmed up and stayed bad through summer. So I've been treating Lomani with advantix fortnightly all through summer. I just ran out so thought I could put her back on advocate over winter and rang the vets today to check if the rate of tick paralysis is slowing down now. They told me that there have been cases all year so far but that tick season doesn't start until June. So now I'm confused, have I had it back to front or is what they told me today wrong? Thanks!

Clyde Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 They're wrong. Tick season can be all year round, however the worst months are usually October to February. The only time I stop with the Advantix is winter. I don't stop the tick checks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The weather conditions will play a big part in when ticks are around. If you are in a bad tick area and the weather conditions are right they could be about all year. If the vet said that they have been seeing cases all year I would keep the tick treatment up. Cheers.
