This morning while I was feeding the puppy, I saw 2 ticks crawling out from the carton box where the puppy sleep . Normally the puppy will be crated at the car park during day time and sleep in the carton box at night in the house. I think tonight I won't let him sleep in the house anymore .....scare the house might get infested as well .
He's going to be 6 weeks old this weekend. Just can't wait for him to be 8 weeks old so that I can bath him with the tick and flea shampoo. At the time being, what can I do to control the ticks problem besides picking out the ticks from his body everyday?

May,
If I were u I would be disinfecting the carpark n garden with watered down solution of tickicide pick out the remaining ticks from the puppy checking 2-3 times a day for any more ticks on him and use cloth or tissue to wipe spray ons onto the puppy for protection from the infestation. I would remove him from your carpark instead of leaving him at the mercy of the hungry ticks there. I believe this is the most merciful thing to do. Leaving him there for the blood suckers isnt my idea of the care n protection we should give a puppy.

Our house doesn't have a garden and we never have any ticks problem before, not until the puppy arrival. The puppy get the ticks from his mother which live in another house with garden at a different housing area.
I'll try your method as I can't wait another 3 more weeks to deal with the problem. I'll also disinfect his crate, throw away the carton box and wash the car park.

May,
Yeah that would be a sensible thing to do. Get a water soluble tickicide from the vet/petshop so that u can pour it into any crevices of your car park to clear as much ticks as u can ....hopefully clear the whole lot up. Just remember not to allow your puppy to play with the watered area for 1-2 weeks. Some tickicide claims to be safe for the doggies but I would not take this chance with a puppy.

Some updates on my puppy.
Yesterday I brought my puppy for his first vaccination. After checking his stool, the vet said the puppy got a lot of worms . So the vet dewormed him and gave me another stringe of dewormer to be given to the puppy 2 weeks after the first dose.
This morning when I went to feed the puppy I saw the puppy poo poo with a lot of "spagetti" like worms. Very 'gelli' laaa.....yuck!!! I checked through the internet and found out that the worms are know as roundworms. No wonder my puppy looks so thin....

He's six weeks now going to be 7. Eat a lot and healthy . I have disinfected his crate as well as out car porch but sometimes we do pick out 1-2 ticks from his body . Plan to bath him when he's 8 weeks old. Btw, he knows the 'sit' command oredi....I'm so happy . Now I'm brushing up on the 'come' command and will teach him 'hand' later. Who says mongrel can't be trained???
His cute face???? I'll show you later. Wait for him to grow fat a bit ....now still thin laa.. . He's a local dog (mongrel) with short brown coat.

I used Clorox to wash his sleeping area. I didn't use frontline on him as his tick problem still can be contain. I'll bath him with the tick and flea shampoo in the next 2 weeks.
Well....I'm not his owner...just his doggie-sitter cum trainer .
