Tick Collars

[hilaryo]

Hi, has anyone experienced any problems with tick collars and their dogs reacting? My boy had one put on him at the vets after tick treatment.

He was in pain for a couple of days when he first came home from the vet. I thought he had hurt his head or neck at the vets - muscular or bruising. Now I'm guessing it was perhaps whatever was happening to his skin on his neck. He only had it on for about 30 hours before I removed it as I didn't think it was warranted in my yard. A couple of days later I've noticed he has lots of scabs on his neck

Maybe because of the recent heat and the chemically treated plastic collar the dog may have sweated underneath it causing a reaction. Or maybe the dog was extra sensitive after getting the tick treatment at the vets?

I had a customer come in with this issue. The vet said they had dermadectic (sp?) mange and popped a Preventic Collar on, and the dog had a reaction. The vet denied any fault, and they searched for different ways of dealing with the mites without using any spot on chemicals. They came in a day later and seemed happy enough but they haven't updated us.
