Answer 1

Oh no, poor puppie,
ok you can take a trip to the vet and they might perscript you with some medication, or but some off the vet office counter or at the pet store like frontline.

You can also buy some special shampoo and conditioner at the pet store for whenever your pups have a bath (it might help)
but I dont know what else you have tried!
Good luck

Dog Covered In Ticks

Ask your vet about a flea/tick shampoo, they will be able to recommend a brand OR may be willing to dip your dog at the office for a fair price. Please look into a flea/tick prevention medication like Advantix (that's what i use, never had a tick on my dog). Ticks can carry a number of diseases, including lyme (which YOU can also get if a tick falls off the dog and attaches to you.) If you are in a tick infested area then ask your vet about other options and do daily tick checks to remove them before your dog can get "covered in them".

Answer 4

Are you sure they are ticks, not fleas? That many ticks on a dog is dangerous! Ticks can carry diseases and depending on how long they have been feeding they can drain alot of blood from a dog and make the dog anaemic. You need to take your dog to the vet, have blood tests done and have them proffessionally remove the ticks. If you pull a tick off and the head gets left attached, infection will follow.

Answer 5

That's a lot of ticks. I'm going to agree with those who suggested a trip to the vet. That's a serious infestation of parasites. Your dog may need special care.

I had the same problem for 2 or 3 seasons. The best thing is to do a tick dip. It may have to be done more than once. It IS important that you get them off of her because they will drain her and they carry diseases. Good luck!

Oh and you need to treat the yard also!

TICK INFESTATION

Tick infestation is the presence and attachment of a tick, a blood sucking parasite. Direct contact with ticks frequently results in tick infestation. In addition, ingestion of ticks can occur when the dog grooms.

Tick infestations are more common in dogs than cats. There is no age or breed predilection, although individuals who spend more time outdoors and who are in direct contact with ticks are more often affected, such as hunting breeds.

Ticks may appear as a small dark speck on your pet's fur, or in an attached, engorged state, may appear as small growths or raisins.

Ticks are important agents of disease transmission. Although not all ticks carry disease, it is important to note that certain ones do. Signs associated with certain tick-borne diseases (borreliosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme and others) vary with the organ system affected.

Treatment

Ticks should be removed as soon as possible to minimize the amount of pathogen (disease producing organism) transmitted. To do this, grasp the tick close to the skin and pull gently, generally with tweezers, and never with your bare hand.

Tick collars or products applied topically may act to prevent attachment of new ticks and to promote detachment of ticks already attached. Ticks may be killed by spraying, dipping, bathing, or powdering affected individuals with appropriate tick-killing products

Ticks belong to the arachnid family, which also includes spiders. Ticks may not be as widespread as fleas in a lot of areas, but they can bring serious problems in the form of diseases that can be transmitted to people as well as pets.


Good Luck

According to this site> TICKS AND THEIR CONTROL

DIPS provide quick and effective tick kill and can usually be mixed from a concentrate and poured or sponged onto your dog. You must dip about every two weeks as the dip will weaken in about that time. Do not rinse off the dip to provide residual anti-tick activity. We have had great success with Paramite Dip.

Myself, I would appy Advantix as it would keep them from getting some diseases associated to such an infestation.
