I was scratching under my dogs chin yesterday afternoon! I found a scab and picked at it! Out came a biting flea/tick! My Dog then ate the flea/tick! What do I do now to help my dog with his 3 sore flea tick bites under his chin?
It’s either a flea or a tick – they aren’t the same. Ticks have roundish bodies and vary in size and color and are hard to get off once they’re embedded. Fleas are tiny and dark with elongated bodies and move quickly. Fleas leave behind dark granules that almost look like dirt on the skin of an animal. Your dog needs a flea and tick preventive. I don’t recommend anything that is non-repellent such as Frontline as your dog has to suffer being bitten before the pest will die, and if you’re far enough along in the cycle, you can still end up with a flea outbreak in your house. I recommend using only Vet-endorsed flea and tick preventives – the over-the-counter treatments are often ineffective, and some are downright dangerous to your Animal Health-wise. Ticks only require the repellent, and you can get him a Lyme vaccine series if you’re worried about it, but prevention is best. Fleas are a whole different ball game, because you have to do two major housecleanings, about two weeks apart with daily vacuuming in between. The dog has to be on a preventive first, then you have to clean your carpets, bedding and anything else the dog comes into contact with. Vacuuming daily is important – buy a cheap flea collar and put a small piece of it in every vacuum cleaner bag. The second cleaning is just as important, because those are the hatchlings of the original fleas. If it’s fleas, they suck, but it can be brought under control.
