✨Nuggets’ ticks removal✨
Born on May 19, her previous owner can’t take care of her and her 3 brothers anymore so we adopted her last June 20. 🐶 She’s wonderful! When she arrived at the house, she explored and played around with her new [cat] family. We fed her with goat’s milk and the cats tried it too. 😹 She’s the first dog we’ve ever had so she’s something new for our cats too see. 😸
Little did we know, at a very young age, she’s already been infested by ticks. We didn’t notice it right away, not until she started scratching her scruff uncontrollably. 😔
It’s around 2 am already and she still can’t sleep. So we’ve decided to check her whole body, and there we saw the first tick, then the second one, and so on! It’s on her belly, back, scruff, paws, legs, and even eyelids! 💔 We lost count actually but we’re sure it’s more than 20! 😱 We stopped around 3 am, so she can rest too because it might be stressful for her, so as you can see in the picture she’s already sleeping comfortably. 😴
The next day I saw another tick on the floor and I thought they’re all gone, right? So I checked both her ears and there is some inside! 😳 of course, we removed it too. The following day we caught another one while we’re not on a road trip. And the search continues until we were able to bring her to a vet during our days off.
We can’t actually bring her to the vet so we just bought her some medications from Dasma Animal Clinic and we can say it’s all effective. After a week, she’s all cleared. 💖
After a week, we discovered another problem with Nuggets 😓 but that’s for another post...
For now, here are some pictures of how he is before and now. If you don’t want to see a tick, tread lightly. I may have included some here as proof. 😅
