Hello #FurbabyParents on steemit!
I'm sure you've heard or even encountered yourself the most annoying problem our doggos could have- tick and flea problems.
These pests could bring wounds with foul smell, fur-loss, and un-ending itchy feeling to our fur-babies and may turn into a serious and a much more complicated matter if not attended. There are tons of solutions like shampoos, conditioners, soaps, medicines offered particularly online and of course, vets and petshops or grooming centers are there to professionally treat your furbabies.
As for me, without the capacity to bring our dogs to grooming shops, I rely on home-made or much more affordable remedies and of course, the tick-flea-harvesting that could go on for hours.
I'm going to share the steps my mom and I have done to slowly and surely bring back Harley's fur and to remove the pests.
First, we made her drink milk with vitamins to restore her energy. Since she's been feeling a bit lazy and sleepy
Second, I removed her most visible tick and fleas with gloves on, using forceps to avoid plucking surrounding fur.
Third, I washed her with this 4in1 (shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, and anti-tick-n-flea) treament following the instructions.
While waiting for 2-3 minutes to pass, I've plucked the remaining tick n fleas. It's satisfying to see fleas unable to run around my baby's fur after application of this treatment. Hehe
Fourth, rinsed Harley and let her dry.
Fifth, I applied massaging oil (particularly the ones from human♡nature that is guaranteed made with natural ingredients and is chemical free- which is good for furbabies since they lick and chew on themselves sometimes).
It helped soothe Harley's wounds and made my baby relaxed the whole day.
I've been doing these steps every other day and I can see improvement on Harley's body.
The foul smell's gone, her wounds are about 60% healed, her fur's smooth and slowly grows back, and she's been doing great!
You may try this if your #furbaby is in this kind of a problematic-situation. Always check on your furbaby the way he/she checks on you!
Bye!
