mylomylo 7 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have a borderxlakie that loves her rabbit holes etc , last week she came back covered in ticks which I removed and retreated her with Frontline , a few days later she is still itching and has itched herself raw in some areas , I understand that the removal of ticks would have left a few remains and these may be irritating her but I have been recommended to bath her in Duramitex . Has anyone got any experience with this or has any other solutions or suggestions ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOU CAN BUY ON LINE A TICK REMOVER THAT REMOVES THE HEAD AS WELL, WHICH IS WHAT CAUSES THE ITCHING AND INFECTIONS FOR ABOUT THREE QUID WELL WORTH IT . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Call in at vets & get 'Tick Puller' best I've had & used loads cost £4 there's two sizes, little green plastic things, dont look like much but they work. All you do is slide over tick -twist anticlockwise & pull. Never had it leave a head in yet. Cant stand the ugly little sods myself- use Frontline as you do already but I also get bottle of tick off drops & chuck them on bout 30 mins before pulling the sods off & spray tcp/antiseptic stuff on after. Use something on bits already itching to stop her been irritated & where you've left the heads in you'll feel 'pips' they never fall off cos the heads already buried under the skin' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
