Welp, it’s early March in the Midwest & the ticks sure seem to be enjoying the warm temperatures.

franchesko,

@Sheril One of the many reasons why I take climate change personally. I HATE ticks!

jodmentum,

@Sheril My B-I-L lives in upstate NY and a neighbor's dog died from a tick bite. B-I-L mentions it's a result of warmer temperatures, changing climate and the guy whose dog died - anti science guy- insists there hasn't been any change in climate. My B-I-L is like dude, it's March. In upstate NY and your dog died of a tick bite. C'mon now.

I suppose this is a good excuse to share the source of this particular ectoparasite.

He’s also far more adorable than the previous image in my opinion. /2

There’s a level of adorable beyond that? Oh my gosh.

@Sheril Hope you found that tick before it had a chance to bite 😱

@mjf_pro unfortunately no. I think this tick was well fed. There’s also a second I am having trouble removing bc its embedded and the puppy thinks tick removal is a game. I will try again when he’s sleepier.

@Sheril I have a suggestion for you that worked for me, my dog and my cat like gangbusters - Bravecto.

My spaniel had brown dog ticks, and they were all over the house, even in my bed! After one dose, the ticks disappeared. I gave her a second dose after 90 days just to be sure. We haven't seen one since.

Then Baby Cat came, with fleas. I gave the dog a Bravecto, and the fleas fled from the kitten, the dog and the house.

Way better than any topical.

@Axomamma He’s on NexGard & hope it has similar results. Our last pup was on Bravecto but our new vet prefers this company. Not sure why.

@Sheril Love that face, you just have to fluff those ears and kiss that nose!

I think ticks are the only lifeforms I really despise! Not happy that climate change means their numbers and their ranges are growing.

@EverydayMoggie somehow I find spiders charming, yet ticks 😬
