Dog ticks head, creatures, bugs, grubs ticks Daddy Long Legs and creepy crawlies seen in Bulgaria
Close up photos of the awesome head and engorged body of the dog tick! Dogs ticks for close up photos of these awesome dog ticks I did take the trouble to remove these ticks from the dog before taking the close up photos for you! Insect repellent in the form of Frontline flea and tick repellent is available thankfully but the local dog shampoo dosn't work! The ticks head still invade the dogs fur on a daily basis the ticks are donanated by the sheep which pass by the house and drop their ticks specially for the mut what a nice gift eh!
Remove the head of the tick completely or it will grow another body and engorge itself on the blood of the dog once again! Tweezers or long fingers can usually safely remove the ticks head and you MUST MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE TICKS HEAD along with its body or it WILL GROW A NEW ONE clinging to the dogs fur and start sucking blood all over again!
DOG TICKS of BULGARIA
every day we are finding these ticks on the dog, the dog has been treated with Frontline flea and tick repellent which we found to be the only one to keep most of these off the mut, thankfully this treatment is available in pet shops in Bulgaria, but there were local repellents which should repel these blood sucking insects. I even tried shampoo repellents specifically for dogs but these ticks are very determined little suckers!
I used to pull them out with my pinched fingernails, taking care to remove the head of the tick along with the body, if you don't remove the head, it apparently grows another body and keeps feeding off the dogs blood!
This tick I removed with the aid of tweezers and a friend holding the dog down securely!
After looking at these close up photos, I dont think I ever wish to touch another tick again, even with my fingernails!
Now I am itching like crazy! The dog however is sound asleep!
