Even though my kitties don't go outside they still can get ticks from the dog when he goes in and out so I am always checking. Caren, I know you are an award free blog, but a friend and I made a new "no hoops" award and I have picked you as a winner just because you and Cody are winners. :) No need to do a thing with it (thus the No Hoops part), just wanted you to know I was thinking of you.

I don't give Cody flea meds...do any of you with indoor cats and dogs who go out use flea meds on your cat?<br /><br />@Mario you are most welcome. I agree. Does your Mom use flea meds? I never did when Bobo used to go out on a leash.<br /><br />@Priscilla you are welcome! Yes prevention is very important! Thanks for your comments about the office!

As a human who has been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, I know only too well the effects of not being correctly diagnosed.<br /><br />In the UK incidences of Lyme in humans, let alone animals, has reached epidemic proportions. So I would say to all to be very careful when removing ticks both from your pets and yourself. My friend who lives just up the road nearly died from Lyme just last year and the tick didn't even attach to him, but he did get the tell tale bulls eye rash!<br /><br />It is estimated that in the UK about 1in 4 ticks carry the disease.CATachresishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227422179439047735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-41528796231870655802011-04-26T04:15:23.781-04:002011-04-26T04:15:23.781-04:00thankfully these problems are now of the past than...thankfully these problems are now of the past thanks to new preventatives like Frontline.Ellen Whytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10036407326752053191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-20111277398157667362011-04-26T03:16:50.606-04:002011-04-26T03:16:50.606-04:00Phew!
