Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and Ticks: It is also important to check animals for fleas and ticks. Usually these parasites are around the ears, back and tail area. Flea dips and topical ointments can prevent the spread of these parasites. If infestation occurs, animal, home and yard must be treated and all cycles (egg, larva and adult flea) must be eliminate. This may take several weeks of treatment to animal and his/her environment. Ticks have to be burned off or pulled out with tweezers. Must be careful not to leave any part of the tick in the animals skin or they could become ill.
