Tuuli Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Oh the summer fun in Alaska! The mosquitoes are really bad this year and as I am getting bitten myself towards insanity, I am wondering if I should take precautions with Tuuli. She is definitely getting bitten, but should I be concerned about her wellbeing? I.e. her snout is full of tiny mosquito bumps. Anybody else have experience with this?

Kadie Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 There is a product out there that repels mosquitoes along with fleas and ticks, I am not sure whether it is Advantix or Revolution or both. Also, you might look into a product called Bug-off-Garlic. It repels all sorts ofinsects and other parasites, and helps boost other healthy body systems. There are blood-borne diseases that mosquitoes can carry, but I am not sure which may or may not be in your area. Sorry I cant be of more help, you might call your vet though. Good luck!

Piper Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Funny I should read this now, my parents are up north right now outside Denali near Talkeetna and my mom called in a panic last night. One of her dogs was bitten badly by the mosquito's and her eyes were swollen shut, etc...and they didn't have any benedryl. Anyways, I forgot about the original thread-I'm going to share that with them. I heard the bugs were really bad up north this year Tuuli, they're not that bad (yet) here in SE Alaska.
