Question about Frontline
I've been using Advantage to get rid of my cats' fleas
for years, but I've never used anything for ticks. When I see or feel a tick I just pull it off, and that has done the job so far. My cats are indoor/outdoor by the way. But one of my cats has a tick close next to his eyelid near the outside corner of his eye. I hesitate to just try to grab it and let the cat pull away, for fear of hurting the cat's eyelid. It probably wouldn't, but I don't want to take a chance. So I would like to know if using Frontline in the appropriate way according to the directions would cause the tick to fall off? If so then I will buy some Frontline from my Vet right away. -cr |

No, the tick won't just fall off using Frontline. It must be pulled off. If
you can't do it, see the vet or vet tech who will. Gail "Calvin Rice" wrote in message oups.com...
