Please what is the best way to remove Ticks from this dog. And what is the best Tick remover that is not poisonous to Dogs and the price,and where to get it

Let me share my experience with you. My first dog was a fine GSD which I named walker, he died of shampoo poisoning in November 2012. How did it happen ?- I discovered ticks on him and I went to the mall to buy this tick shampoo that contained fipronyl. I used it the first time and the dog started stooling, I used it again after 3 days and the dog could not eat, I called the Vet nearby, he suggested giving the dog DHL for parvo-virus though the dog was not due for the Vaccine. To cut the story, walker died. It was after his death that I realized he actually died of shampoo poisoning because the watery stool was not blood-stained( a classic sign of Parvo) and it started when I bathed him with that shampoo. Fast -forward to September 2014, my recent GSDs Skipper and Flier had tick after I walked Skipper along a particular path. I bought this same shampoo and Spot-on from the mall. I used the Shampoo for two consecutive weeks and I then apply the Spot-on liquid on their back, before you know it al them tick died out one by one. each time I used the shampoo on them I put palm oil in their mouth peradventure lick their body it the chemical would have little effect, a friend told me that you can use activated charcoal tablet but I have not tried it before.
Another thing I did was that I changed their location so that I could spray their cage, I used snipper mixed with Jik solution. I left the cage un-touched for 3 days then washed it thoroughly. before I put the dogs back in, I repeat the same to all other locations where I do chained them.
Mind you if you are not always around to observe your dog you can't follow this route. Hope this help in a way.

If your house is painted with text-coat, they do hide in the folds n holes. If the big ones are crushed, they released their eggs. Very disgusting set of pests.

I know better now, I read more so that when I call a vet, I know or have an idea of what he has to do.

This is my problem with high breed Dogs, they are too fragile, try it on Bingo and i bet you, it will survive. snipper killed one of our Gsd slant back many year ago. my Mum ignorantly and innocently dropped it on its body just to kill ticks. that was the end of the whole matter it died few hours after. there is these prticular liquid our vet Doctor prescribed for our dogs, he didnt prescribe sef, he bought it for us three years back cnt remember the name again but will ask him, it turns to white when you add it in water and has a very Offensive smell. we bath the dogs with the liquid and he also injected them a different drug against ticks. the injection was done ones, they were bathed with the liquid trice since then the dogs have been tick free.

The injection could be ivermect injection, it works but somehow dangerous because of neurological side-effects.

Prodeegee:


My question is, the ticks you handpicked, what do u do with them? How do you dispose them?

I put them inside Petrol mixed with Jik if I don't have Azithral solution. they died under one minute.

ok noted. but dnt you think itz based on the quantity or level of it been injected into the dogs body that causes such danger? our dogs have being living healthy with no side effects. strong and active

I'm happy that your dogs are doing fine n healthy. Generally speaking, drugs side effects are irrespective of dosage- like when we used to take chloroquine and have itching, whether you take one tablet or four if you are prone to have itching you would have it. I am not a vet, I only write what I have been able to glean from the net and friends.

abeg i rub kerosine on my dog to kill some of d ticks dat on him after removing d bigger ones and he kind of went berserk and have been crying.am scared did i do something wrong?

Please bath that dog, the kerosene is irritating his skin, you know the skin is no longer intact 'cos of the ticks' bite, the kerosene gets to the skin and those small wound sites. so bath him and wait for like 2 or 3 days before you apply any anti-tick measures.
