terrible news for my 7 months old male shih tzu.. he has TICKS!! what am i to do??..its been about three weeks and i still can't clear out the situation. I've bath him everyday w/ tick and flea shampoo, however it doesn't clean out the ticks completely. After I shower him, my mother and I would look for the ticks and we kill them, but that doesn't seem to work either. IT KEEPS COMING BACK!! we shaved him hoping it would help get rid of the ticks but that also didn't work.. I don't know what to do

My dog doesn't have any bit that cause him to bleed, however there are certain pink dots, i believe it a bit from the ticks.. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? pls help

How about a visit to the vet, and ask them about flea and tick prevention in your area.

Frontline or Advantage oil, goes between the shoulder blades. Only available at your vet. Works great!

All my pets or on Frontline, Advantage, or advanix all three kill flea and ticks. You get it from your vet and don't need a perscription in most states.

You should how ever take your dog to the vet since this is reacurring. Dogs can get Lyme desease and Heartworms from ticks. And from exsperience I know it costs WELL over $1000.00 to cure heartworms with less than a 50% chance your pet well live. Not to mention what the dog has to go through! A one week stay at the vets with arsnick pumped into him twice a day.

Sorry for mispelled words
