It's a good question because I just found 3 on my dog in the same spot. That's how I found this question, by doing a little research to figure out if it's normal. One tick was huge, and the other 2 were smaller & right beside the larger one. It made me wonder if it was a mama tick who had two baby ticks with her. My poor dog...he gets monthly meds, but it doesn't always work well on ticks.
There are several types of small ticks, including deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks. They can be identified by their size, color, and markings. Deer ticks are small and reddish-brown, dog ticks are larger and brown with white markings, and lone star ticks have a white spot on their back. It's important to be cautious around ticks and seek medical attention if you suspect a bite.
There are several monthly topical spot-on treatments available for cats that will repeal ticks (and fleas, generally) for one month - your veterinarian can help you determine which of the products would be best for your cat.
I am not aware of any ointment, but there are several different spot-on liquid medications that are effective at killing fleas and ticks. The leading brands in the United States are, in no particular order: Frontline, Revolution, Advantage and several others.
From how I understand it ticks have chemoreceptors, or organs that can spot chemicals in the air. In a tick's case the chemical is carbon dioxide, which is excreted into the environment anytime any living organism breathes out.
The odds are extremely low.
To avoid ticks while outdoors, wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck pants into socks and wear light-colored clothing to spot ticks easily. Use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin and check for ticks after being outside.
Horses do get ticks, they can just be hard to spot. The most common areas are under the jaw line, inside the ears, on the stomach and under the tail head.
no.
I think they are having a opening. In this month.
Doesn't mean much either way. The only thing having a beauty spot tells you is that you have a beauty spot on the ear.
Yes the boys will like it.
