This morning I notice all these little ticks running around iinside his nest box. I mean like 15, most are little bitty.

How to get the General clean without making him sick?

Please advise :D

Revolution takes care of ticks as well as many other parasites! Poor General!!!:grouphug :grouphug :grouphug

I opened his box this morning and there were like 25 itty bitty fat ticks that had fell off of him and I guess were making for the wild?


My boyfriend is a vet and he had some flea/tick spray he said to use on him, the name is Carter's brand.

I hate to make him sick though.

What is revolution ? Like one of those deals you put on the dog ever 3 months or something?

Thanks

Yes, it is a monthly treatment for cats and/or dogs. Please let me look for a recent post that I know is here about dosing. You can likely begin by a Dawn dishsoap wipedown sort of bath with a soft cloth and a light water/dishsoap mixture.
As a vet your boyfriend will definitely know what it is.:thumbsup

Warm water and Dawn dishwashing soap kills just about all the creepy-crawlies a squirrel can get.
