Mrs Tiggywinkle has come a calling these last few evenings.
Close enough to let her see me put a few cat biscuits down for her.
Close enough to hear her crunching.
Close enough for me to see the ticks on her face.
So I need some advice before I go and bewilder the vet with my French.
Can I crunch up a tick and flea tablet into a little food for her, aware of the weight difference between her and a cat.
Answers on a postcard please to…….

Mr Stinky you can break up a tick and flee tablet and put it in the food.
The combo tablets are quite exspensive but work.

Les puces sont propres aux hérissons elles ne viennent pas sur vous et sur vos animaux domestiques mais çà reste une puce ! Surtout pas de Frontline !!!
On peut éventuellement les diminuer par une solution constituée d’une goutte d’huile essentielle de lavande dans 20 gouttes d’huile de colza (pas d’huile d’olive, ça c’est pour la salade !) Avec un petit vaporisateur sur le dos de l’animal ou légèrement au pinceau sur le dos. (Jamais sur les muqueuse, yeux, museau…)
Le tique est un parasite qui suce le sang de l’animal et l’affaibli.
Il est impératif de les enlever au + vite, avec une pince à tiques, pince à épiler… toujours bien avoir la tête. Ne pas badigeonner l’animal d’huile. Trop gras, vous allez le refroidir il va mourir. On peut ensuite noyer les tiques enlevés dans le vinaigre blanc ou les brûler.
La teigne se présente sous une forme croûteuse. Il n’est pas évident de la décrire. Raison pour laquelle IL FAUT TOUJOURS prendre un animal avec des gants, un linge pour éviter tout risque. Le montrer à un vétérinaire habilité à la faune sauvage ou de prendre contact avec l’Annexe.

Taken from Tiggywinkles hospital fact sheet...
‘Hedgehog Fleas and Ticks
Hedgehog fleas do not live on dogs, cats, humans or inside houses, they are host specific, so your pet cannot catch fleas from a hedgehog.
Ticks on hedgehogs (seen as greyish shiny lumps, often behind the ears) are not usually a problem unless there are dozens, which can lead to anaemia. Removal of ticks should be avoided as it is very easy to leave the mouth parts behind which may lead to a serious infection.’
personally I would get a vets advice before using tick and flea tablets.
