Deeds Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 BTW if you do find a tick and remove it you can apply some Advantix to the wound in order to kill every thing off . Just in case there are some bits or venom still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would treat my dog heartworms, this is a must, we have so many mosquitos and it has never crossed my mind not to. I think it is more risky not to. For fleas, i only apply as needed even when my vet tells me to apply all year round. Never used tick medications. I'm of the opinion that less is more in terms of these meds. But if the area is bushy and a tick prone area, then I would consider flea and ticks but obviously since my dog has medical issues, I'm being extra cautious this time round. With Malcolm who had autoimmune diseases and other problems I was simply told not to give the Proheart shot and instead give tablets. This was on the basis of (a) his illnesses and (b) that I could be relied upon not to forget the heart/intestinal wormers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeds Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I knew the original enquiry was in regard to a mini schnauzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
