Hello! About 3 months ago, my dog Jasper (8 yrs) fell off of the seat in my car when I had to brake to not hit a car that pulled out in front of me. He limped a little when I got him out of the car but seemed normal after that. However, after a few days he let out a cry when getting up from his...

Found a small bump on my MinPins head. It's about the size of a popcorn kernal. It has a small black center. I can't see any legs. It's visible without pulling the hair back. Please see the attached images. Thanks for any help!

Yesterday, during a routine vet visit, I was told my beagle, Brody, tested positive for Lymes. I'm not really surprised even though we use flea & tick meds since we live in a very bad tick area and we are always hiking through the woods. My concern is, the vet prescribed antibiotics even...

Is there a way to tell if there is a tic in my boy's skin without going to the vet?

Hello, I noticed and pulled a tick off my doxie two days ago. It couldn't have been on there more then a day either. There was no bump yesterday but today there's a rather large red one with lots of small mini bumps on top of the bump it self. I got pictures so I could get opinions based on...

We were checking Kasper over today and found our first tick ever :eek: Luckily since moving here (as someone had told us ticks were common) we had a tick remover and so were able to get the thing off him and dropped it into alcohol. The tick must have been on since this morning's dog walk...we...

Hi, I got Simple Guard 3 from my vet. This is the second time I'm using it on my dog and for the past hour she's been acting funny. Pacing, rubbing herself on things, panting, mostly pacing. She also randomly peed on the floor and this was AFTER we took her on a walk (because she was pacing)...

Hello everyone! Just got my dog a few weeks ago and I was wondering what the best method of controlling fleas (and ticks, though its not a huge problem where I live) beyond bathing him with flea shampoo. I know there are a few skin applicable medications (i.e. Advantage), a friend has told me...
