Get her to a groomer and in a tick bath, if the groomer refuses because other dogs can get them, see if he/she will sell you some of the bath and do it at home. Or go to the vet, please make sure that when all the ticks are off that you have a bloodtest taken by a vet.

TICK INFESTATIONTick infestation is the presence and attachment of a tick, a blood sucking parasite. Direct contact with ticks frequently results in tick infestation. In addition, ingestion of ticks can occur when the dog grooms.Tick infestations are more common in dogs than cats. There is no age or breed predilection, although individuals who spend more time outdoors and who are in direct contact with ticks are more often affected, such as hunting breeds.Ticks may appear as a small dark speck on your pet's fur, or in an attached, engorged state, may appear as small growths or raisins.Ticks are important agents of disease transmission. Although not all ticks carry disease, it is important to note that certain ones do. Signs associated with certain tick-borne diseases (borreliosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme and others) vary with the organ system affected.TreatmentTicks should be removed as soon as possible to minimize the amount of pathogen (disease producing organism) transmitted. To do this, grasp the tick close to the skin and pull gently, generally with tweezers, and never with your bare hand. Tick collars or products applied topically may act to prevent attachment of new ticks and to promote detachment of ticks already attached. Ticks may be killed by spraying, dipping, bathing, or powdering affected individuals with appropriate tick-killing productsTicks belong to the arachnid family, which also includes spiders. Ticks may not be as widespread as fleas in a lot of areas, but they can bring serious problems in the form of diseases that can be transmitted to people as well as pets.Good Luck

If you wash the dog regularly with tick shampoo, get the dog dipped to remove flies, that helps. Seeing that the dog is suffering, especially at one years old, that could be vital to its health. I urge you to see a vet, that many ticks or fleas could easily kill the dog

Oh no, poor puppie,ok you can take a trip to the vet and they might perscript you with some medication, or but some off the vet office counter or at the pet store like frontline.You can also buy some special shampoo and conditioner at the pet store for whenever your pups have a bath (it might help)but I dont know what else you have tried!Good luck

Definitely the vet! She needs to get them all off her first. You are going to have to restrict her running around until you can get a handle on these tics. Take care of it quickly, this can be quite serious.

Default Ticks

After so many ticks... I would also contact your vet and have the dog tested... not just for lyme.... get the full panel... it's expensive. But it's better than loosing your dog.... I know... check out my website.... I lost my little girl to Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever. Where are you located?
There is also a link to a lab on my website and some other information. If you want more information - email me personally. Take Ticks Seriously.... some diseases can be dorment... some kill within a very short period of time... some you may survive but you will never be the same again.... if you have blood running through you... you can get the same diseases tick spread - dogs, cats, people... don't hesitate.
