Ticks this spring!!

I got Bite twice already! Yanked them off, both times in the middle of the night/sleeping. Ticks weren't engorged, small fvckerz, but still has left a small bump/mark. Funny enuff, haven't found any on my dog{yet} Im checking frequently. She got her medicine about a week ago.

And neither was the so-called Covid-19 Vaccine.........:oops:

Yet the lemmings lined up like good little minions, didn't they!.......:(

They actually changed the definition of vaccines to accommodate their new death-shot regime.....:(
 
My in-laws live in Brantford ON area and have been finding ticks on their dog since March, SW Ontario up to Hamilton seems to be a hot spot.

Just a message for anyone with dogs that are of a herding breed, to keep an eye on their dogs if they are taking tick medication. Our 5 year old border collie has the MDR1 gene and developed seizure like symptoms from the meds and had to be taken off them. Vets rarely acknowledge this issue with certain breeds until the symptoms appear.

From the interwebs: The MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1) gene mutation is a genetic defect common in herding dogs (roughly 70–75% of Collies) that causes sensitivity to certain medications. This mutation prevents the production of P-glycoprotein, allowing drugs to accumulate in the brain and cause severe neurotoxicity. Affected dogs may react to ivermectin, loperamide (Imodium), and anesthesia.

Deer ticks are plenty in southern MB already. Pulled 2 deer ticks off my dog after a walk in the bush.

No kidding?

Headed up to Peguis / Dallas for a horse show in a bit.
I havent seen any yet but last year was super mild down around Selkirk.

Our dogs are on NexGuard every year.
Every now and then we might see a dead tick on the bed.
