Just thanking everyone for suggestions but we got the head removed and all the ticks...There was only 7 total but still could have harmed her. As for some of the rude comments I ask in the future if you dont know all circumstances then dont comment. I did not breed the dog nor let her get pregnant. She was abondoned by some people in Missouri and I just drove 800 miles to help the friends of mine out and went n got them before they lost their home and dogs went to pound because they did not have the room. I however live on a farm so I have the room. In missouri they had only a one bedroom and it was near woods. I did call a 24 hr animal clinic b4 posting question. I also have one more question...How do you get a dog to quit eating the cats food...lol...Was just curious...I have heard several ways like squirt her with water and other things. Please let me know. Any rude comments or answer I will report. Thank you.

Cat food is sweeter than dog food, so I am told by my vet. This sorta explains why so many dogs develop a liking for what is left in the cat box (ICK!!)
I never got my dog to stop gorging on the cat's food. It's really high in calories and he had saddle bags and a fat roll over his tail (Chihuahua). He quickly learned to never eat it if I was in the same room, so if your dog is as clever, the squirt bottle trick won't work for long. I finally gave up and put the cat food where the dog could no longer get to it, but the cat could. That's likely your best option IMO.

I had the same problem!! Everytime my Cresteds ate the cats food they got sick! I could not keep them out of it, so I bought a bakers rack and put a bar stool infront of it and feed my cat there. The dogs can not get on the bar stool nor can they reach the cat food. When my cat is hungry she goes to the kitchen and gets on her chair and looks at me :o)

I had to move it up high. I could not keep her out of it. Her poop was green from it. She still knows where it is at and jumps at the table. Good thing her middle name is not agility. Good luck. I think it is so darn tasty that you just have to keep it out of reach.

Move it up to the counter or on top of the washing machine or dryer.. otherwise.. up high so the dog can't get to it... They will never stop...
GOOD LUCK

put it somewhere high so your dog cant reach it.
