Index of Subjects Thank you Andrew! No, they do not do tick ID's anymore! :( They suggested I toss it, which I did, maybe I shouldn't have. The tick did 'appear' to have black legs (through my magnifying glass) but it really may not have. Have an appointment this week anyway for 'Dash's' annual seniors wellness check & titre testing (only vaccinate for rabies now every 3 years). Will consult with her vet re: the tick. I know that as a pre-caution dogs may be given antibiotics. Amazing that even though I have owned Springers since 1980 & lived in Dartmouth, that this is the very 1st time I have EVER found a tick on any of my dogs. Thank you, Sincerely, Gayle MacLean ---- Andrew Hebda <hebdaaj@gov.ns.ca> wrote: > Wood/Dog ticks are found, pretty-well from a line between Truro to Cole Harbour and points West and South of there...
