Loving the herd life
We are now treating Jesse for TBD's. (tick borne diseases) the vet didn't feel the need to do a tick panel, but from her symptoms decided the best course of action is to treat with Doxy for 2 weeks. If I see improvement, we will continue with doxy for another 2-3 weeks.
She has lost some weight and is not moving around like she should for her age. I was using Preventic collars, didn't even begin to touch the ticks that were on her. She comes up to the house every night for our nightly tick pick. She enjoys it...I hate it! But I pick 10 plus ticks off her a night. Some dead, some moving around like they aren't effected by the collar at all. She now has a Seresto collar on. Hopefully it will work better than the other collar.
NO fleas, just loaded with ticks.
Waiting on some quinines to hatch. Hopefully they will make a dent in our tick population.
What is anyone else using for tick prevention that seems to be working?
Doxy...2 weeks for a 75lb dog, $87 dollars. HRUMPH....
