Seita Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just an update, she has improved heaps and is allowed to come home tonight. She'll be sedated for the weekend to keep her calm (she is not normally calm) but she gets to come home so I am very very relieved!!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry to ask but I always want to know if one of them is ineffective My dog had a tick when on Advantix, 1 week after the application (!) so I stopped using it and switched to Proban) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry to ask but I always want to know if one of them is ineffective My dog had a tick when on Advantix, 1 week after the application (!) so I stopped using it and switched to Proban) I only had her on a herbal remedy called tick stop which is supposed to help them build up an immunity to ticks over time. I had forgotton to put a new tick collar on her. I don't trust the spot ons and will be putting her onto proban tablets and permoxin washes from now on. A worthwhile reminder to all that everyone needs to be extra diligent with tick prevention. I think the tick stop stuff probably helped her combat the tick more efficiently but it certainly isn't enough - I knew that but had just forgotten to put the tick collar on her, I did have one kicking around but had forgotten about it. My last dog was on a tick collar and I think we had her on a spot on as well (I can't quite remember) and she didn't survive. The vet mentioned that if using a tick collar the killtix ones seem to do a better job of keeping the ticks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlibud Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Glad to hear she is on the mend. I had Jazzy my 4mths old GSD puppy in the vets 2 weeks ago with 2 ticks on her. Its Horrible to see them that way isnt it. ;) I tried to keep her quiet but in the end I had to leave her out with my other girl because she was getting more upset being away from her . She only did what she could handle but tried to keep her from running around. She took 10 days before I could say that she wasnt still weak in the back end.But now you wouldnt know she had even been unwell. Hate the bl@@dy things. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I only have the one dog at the moment so no one else to stir her up. She's got sedatives for the next few days but I expect that she'll bounce back pretty quickly. I'm still umming and ahhing about sending some entries off for competitions in November just in case she's doing really well. I know she's going to be going batty within a week or so of being kept quiet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 When my boy had his tick we had to keep him quiet for at least 2 weeks. He is only just now completely back to normal but he still gets tired quickly. When he is tired his breathing gets a little laboured. It is going to be a case of slowly building him up again. So do take things easy and try not to let her get overly tired ... Very glad to hear she is doing so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
