StarFox Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 What a day!!! I had to take Zebra to the vets. (seems like we are always there). Ever since my dad took that evil tick of of Zebra he has been scratching at the place where it bit him. On friday I noticed that it was getting a little scabby and decided to take him to the vet today. It wasn't realy a suprise what the vet told us "zebra is having an allergic reaction to the tick bite". So poor zebra had to get a BIG shot for his allergies. Then they shaved where the rash was! :o OH it's soo sad but soo funny looking. He has a 5x6 inch bald spot on his side. Then the vet put some cream on the rash to make him stop bitting and scratching at it. Now I asked my vet about giving Zebra a tick medication and he said that the best one was a Tick collar.I think it's called Preventic...and he said it's NOTHING like the Hartz collars. I have never head of this Tick Collar before..has anyone else heard of it??? IT's on zebra right now..I just want to know if it's dangerous to him. The vet said it might make him sick if he eats it..but i don't think he will be doing that...well hopefully he won't. :) Quote

Shannon_C Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Starfox I have heard of a flea collar that can do the same as a tick collar if eaten. Quote
JackieMaya Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 My sister uses the Preventik collars on her dogs and said that it works very well. She has 3 Irish Setters and 1 Great Pyranese who are all outside dogs (in Texas). Quote
