When I pulled them out they were instantly back to normal, well wierd! Must have been such a massive relief to get rid of them, I check them for ticks all the time now. Felt well guilty for not noticing them sooner, especially on the albino! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
runforyourlife 361 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 yeah, your not wrong there mate... Dont worry about not spotting them, we are all guilty of it at sometime. well maybe not the 1 day aweek hunter, but those who graft on a regular basis... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mangy1983 51 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 The old boys in my village say that 1 in a thousand (I think) can kill a sheep because of its toxins, but they never say dog for some reason. I have twice been knocked down with them were l come down with a fever and l sleep more. I remember the first time my girlfriend checked me when l got home but never saw the tick but after rechecking me after l came down with the fever she found one on my hip. The second time she was more clued up and found it first time although l had come down with the same symptoms as previously. The second time l went to the doctor and told her what had happened and they took blood from me and when the results came back they said l had traces of limes disease in my blood! cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Usually find a couple a season on the dogs, been well into double figures on each dog last wee while.........frontline soon sorts them though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveS.Yorks 161 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 We had one ferret absolutely covered in them earlier this year,the ground we worked that day had just been cleared of sheep the day before,we used "spot on puppy" flattens them a treat,dont use spot on adult or spot on for cats on ferrets though.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 They are horrible f*cking things, my youngest son had one on his chest not so long back, it was removed and he had a course of anti B's for 10 days after. Luckily he's not had any symptoms of Lymes or anything like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 A friend of mine never used to shut up about how his uncle caught Lymes desease from a tick and it attacked his nervous system. Don't know how true this is. After reading a post on ticks it's prompted me to check mine and I felt guilty for not checking sooner. None were found but lesson learnt to check more often.
