A lot of problems were that cat and dog treatments affect pets in different ways, cats were dying because owners were using dog treatments
. My dog was blonde so I could see fleas and ticks as they appeared. The place she got ticks from was the Lake District, never anywhere else. They live in the bracken, having fallen off deer and sheep ....... once they feed they swell into a grey/blue blob - a bit of meths worked
Tick bites on humans can cause ?
? Disease, I want to say Weills but that's rates, oh Lyme ....... which many GP don't recognise. A rash sometimes or a red blot which has a ring round it, then 'flu like symptoms.
Fleas: I could write a book
We have a pair of blackbirds feeding young, every time I go outdoors they are close by, chirping that 'feed me now' sound
. Does anyone think it's early to have a nest of young? Two hogs here very evening .....
I heard a wren briefly earlier [as I was on the way to the dentist
] but haven't seen her yet. Spawn in abundance.
