Already! I’ll have to check the cat as he usually picks them up, found these pretty good, picked something similar up from pets at home, the only difficult bit is holding the cat down
I always carry these in my dog bag https://smile.amazon.co.uk/OTom-02-...1&keywords=tick+remover&qid=1616878023&sr=8-6
The ticks were so bad here we got medication for our dog 3-4 weeks back. No ticks since. Never seen as many and as fast I removed them, next walk she had more. The little plastic hook type tick removers are what is required. Best not use tweezers as can leave the head behind. serious tick country here and I was bitten last year, probably when strimming at one of my jobs. Ended up with the tell tale signs of Lyme disease, blood test confirmed. Followed by 3 weeks antibiotics, followed by another blood test to confirm ok. Nasty blighters.
As the 'Spot on' flea & tick stuff washes off, we changed to an oral type, 'Bravecto' for our 4 girls. Each dose works for 3 months. If you Google it it'll scare you shitless (like everything you Google these days), but the truth behind the scaremongering is that it's (on ballance) very very safe. Mine get exercised in woods and pasture every day and we've never seen a Tick or Flea on any of them since.
We also use Bravecto also. Our Jack Russell is 6 years old this year, most of our walking is through forests and in that time we have only had 3 ticks that we have found. All had died after latching on to the dog.
Our Fly and her Mum Beth, mucking about playing in the garden. Clash of teeth ... and PING !!! So that'll be a £1500 Vet Dentist's bill thank you very much !! (Thankfully covered by insurance this time )
I have questions. Do you mean your missus also rescued a bumble bee or do you mean you put your missus in a box last year, punched a few air holes in the sides and and gave her a few drops of sugary water to sustain her? Happy wife, happy life!
