My puppy is on Frontline and got her last dose on November 3. However, it must not be working because I have pulled 2 deer ticks (I think they were deer ticks) off her in the last 24 hours!!!!! I am so upset! She is vaccinated against Lyme, but we are in a VERY high risk Lyme disease area. My mom has Lyme disease and I know how bad it can be. So, my question is, can I give her more Frontline? I'm about to call the vet, but I just moved to the area and don't know and trust the vet. I also am planning to take her in to have her tested for Lyme, but how soon would it show up on a test? Any other things I should be doing? I kept the ticks and have them in rubbing alcohol. I know they want you to do that for people, but don't know if vets want to test the tick. So I have them just in case. That way they can be identified as deer ticks or not. I am just so frustrated that this happened! It's not supposed to happen! We have her running off leash in the woods just about every day of the week, so she is in tick areas a lot, but she was supposed to be protected by the Frontline!
