Frontline

I have Frontline Plus (applied April 2nd) for 50-70ish pound dogs on my 53-lb Plott Hound.

She rolled over for a belly rub and there was a Deer Tick with the head fully in, starting to fill up with blood.

I got a tweezers, needle nose plier and couldn't believe how hard of a pull I was giving and it just wouldn't budge. Finally broke off, and I left a little piece of black in the dog. I'm really hoping this is just pieces of the mouth, because of it being a deer tick.

It probably had been on her for 12-14 hours, there was a quarter size red rash around the tick on her bare belly skin.

Should I be concerned yet? This is the first deer tick I have ever pulled off of a dog.

About 10% of deer ticks carry lymes. I've treated several sleddogs for, even myself last fall. Don't worry about the rash, it's common after a bite and not indicative of the disease. Instead watch the dogs behavior. The first dog of mine that got lymes was a Samoyed. He'd be bouncing a ball every night when I came home. With limes he'd just lay there hardly lifting his head. 24 hrs on antibiotics he was back to bouncing the ball. For me I ached in random places, muscles sore to the touch, not to move. When the random aches started in joints I went on the antibiotics and 24 hrs later I was back bouncing the ball too!

Also, each spring my dogs all get preventative shots. They're not 100% but better than nothing and not very costly.

Yep go to the vet and tell them what you just said it is easily controlled early. After long periods it can get ugly.

Be careful with the "Bio-Spot"... My lab had a bad reaction to it and lost most of his hair down his dorsal line down the spine. I switched to Frontline at the Vets suggestion and had no further problems....

I use Frontline too. But Frontline also did what is described above to my friends lab.

I have used both Frontline and BioSpot on my two labs. Neither has had a tick when using either product. As said above, reactions can happen to any of these products. Both work very well in my opinion.

There was some mention of buying Frontline at WallyWorld. Is Frontline now an over the counter medicine? When I buy Frontline I always get mine through my vet.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
