Did you have your vet give the Lyme shot? I didn't want it for my dogs and one of my vets gave it to my Doberman without my permission. A year later he got deathly ill and the tick titer was up but the shot might have done it. He was diagnosed after x-rays, spinal taps and an MRI with a fatal

Where are you in FL? We are on Siesta Key during the winter and I have only seen one tick. Maybe we don't have them there because there aren't many or any deer on the island? Sue On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 3:29 AM, floridapossum floridapos...@gmail.comwrote: ** Yes I know thanks. I have

Robin, do you see a lot of ticks in your area? Our vets here do not recommend the Lyme vaccine because they say the side effects for our little ones can outweigh the benefits from the vaccine. Our previous vet here in MI did give the vaccine without my permission also. I was so mad! Sue On

We have the ticks here on the Lakeshore in MI. They love dune grass and we have lots of deer dropping them off. I comb the boys every time we come in from a walk. UGH! Sue On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 9:11 AM, Becky stewartg...@yahoo.com wrote: ** Hi ladies. I am a TRUE Floridian. Born

I used Adams to keep ticks off when I went to a park that had ticks. It can be used with the fleas meds or at least with some. Robin, Dobe Axel CGC, TT, German Pin Ranger CGC, TT, Chihuahuas Alice CGC, Monte CGC, and MinPins HoneyB and Brutus www.minpinrescue.org -Original

That's where I'm at! All the girls are good. No side effects at all. And I'm pretty sure all the fleas are gone. Just a few residual itches from the bites. P ---Original Message--- From: Robin Gordils Date: 28/08/2013 6:19:45 AM To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re:

One thing my Vet did say is that I should not give the Comfortis and oral heart worm med on the same day. She said there was a much higher incidence of stomach issues then. I usually leave a day between pills. Sue On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 11:53 AM, floridapossum floridapos...@gmail.comwrote:
