ozgirl2 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 The immature ('seed') ticks will form nests (for want of a better word) and if you brush by one, you can get hundreds at a time on you - unfortunately it's happened to ME! We used those rollers you use to get dog hair off clothes if we get into a nest... sticks them all to the tape! He probably brushed by vegetation where they were & picked some up there. Some of the other kennel dogs may have some too. If you're pretty sure you got them all, don't worry too much. But DO keep an eye out for any TBD symptoms in a month or so... Were they attached (had to actually PULL them off?) or just crawling? If just crawling, then you're probably OK - if attached, just keep an eye out.

Guest Dawn Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Don't forget to have a tick panel done on your pup when you see the vet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzaFerrari Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Luckily I have only seen crawling ones on Enza - however I did find an embedded one in my arm while I was in the shower. I am positive my neighbors got quite the show as I ran my apartment with shampoo in hair and screaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Pull 'em out, flush 'em down the toilet. Get a Preventic collar; far more effective for ticks than Frontline Plus. And try not to worry! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
