Bless him  :love: :love:  He looks really well though despite what he has just gone through.  He is gorgeous too - a very handsome chap.  :hug:
Thank you.  I DID say as I was leaving George's surgery last night' if he hadn't done so much winning he might not have been forgiven so quickly for pulling those stitches out'  - in jest of course - he's my once in a lifetime soul mate, but his show record speaks for itself - even though he's not had that third Challenge Certificate to make him a Show Champion, and time is against him now.

Show Certificate of Merit, 2 Challenge Certificates, 5 reserve Challenge certificates, 61 best of breeds, 17 best puppy in breed, 25 best opposite sex, 1 Best in show, 4 group places, 15 short lists in Group

As well as about 45 retrieved pheasants, partridge, and rabbits on our local shoot in the last 4 years, and not forgetting all the birds pointed after the spanners have been through  :roflanim:

Vet just phoned - no cancer!  :relief:

Infection caused lump - foreign body suspected, so we are assuming it was an insect bite - tic head possibly left in when it got brushed off.    Just need to keep an eye on him for flare up of infection, or fluid build up. PHEW!

Advantixed about 6 weeks ago so it does what it says on the tin - only gives protection for a month!  Here we go £30 every month from now on, or will I try Garlic as recommended by some of my doggy friends?

Could I give them garlic while the Advantix is still in their system or is that OD - ing?

That's really good news! What a relief, even if you do need to treat every month against ticks!

Excellent news  :relief:.   :sunshine:

I think it's worth going for the chemical treatment rather than a garlic preventer for your dogs, which if I remember get walked in woodland where they are likely to pick up 'stuff', so something sure is what you need.

Great news and such a relief  :thumbsup:

Garlic won't do any harm, not convinced by it's pesticidal properties but it will not inhibit the Advantix powers or overdose Allez.

I know that Garlic is a blood thinner so dosage is quite crucial.  What I don't know is how Advantix works.

What I do know is that Fr*****ne is useless.  Just found ticks and fleas on my girl.  How embarrassing, at the vets ::) .  I hope Allez is mending well, he sounds a great character ;D .

What a relief for you - such good news!  :sunshine:

There is a herbal repellant (to be mixed in food, got a lot more in it than garlic) called 'Billy no Mates'.
It smells really nice but I can't get much into my dog as he is terribly picky, so not sure I can do a qualified review, but he only ever had one tick in 2 years of living in sheep country.

No garlic strangely.  Might try it thanks, cost is about 30p a day - half the cots of advantix.
