Cat mange

Ticks
Q: What is the best or correct way to remove ticks from my dog i've heard to burn them off thanks
A: You can use a medium sized flat tweezer, or a gadget sold to remove them. grasp the tick around the head area being careful not to crush it, and slowly pull it out. treat the wound and surrounding area with an antiseptic.

Possible arthritis
Q: My cat is 13 years old, and overweight. he probably weighs 20 lbs. he's been having trouble getting up on the furniture. i thought it was kind of funny, but recently he must have fell from a countertop or some place. it's like he has no control over his back legs. although he has gotten better. i've been really babying him, making sure he doesn't jump off the couch or go up and down the stairs that much. but still when he runs at full speed his back end will go almost sideways, like he lost control of his back legs. i was looking at that cosequin or joint flexor. what would you recommend?
A: Try cosequin from 1800petmeds as well as give him extra antioxidant vitamins like vitamin c in form of ester c at dose of 250 mg twice daily as well as vitamin e at dose of 100iu daily and cod liver oil 1/4 teaspoon added to food daily as well as prozyme from 1800pemeds to each meal

Ear mites
Q: I have a registered two yr.old boston rat terrior . she has ear mites really bad in both ears. she will not let me put medicine in her ears for this. is there something i can get to put on back of neck that will cure this? i hear you can get revolutions for ear mites & heart worm to be applied on back of neck, but she gets the heart worm shot every six months & i dont want to do that. i am just looking for something for ear mites only to be applied to back of neck. thank you i hope you can help me
A: Only product i know that you ask about is revolution. however i would take to vet as ear mites are not that common in dogs this age. could be yeast infection or bacterial infection in ears
