   "The ticks were able to survive all winter long," said Veterinarian Nancy Belknap of New Hope Animal Hospital. "We saw them consistently."
   
   Of the 632 dogs tested this year at the hospital on New Hope Road, 35 were diagnosed with Ehrlichia, Belknap said. This disease is transmitted by ticks and can be treated with an antibiotic. If left untreated, the dog could bleed to death.
   
   Also, two cases of Lyme disease and four cases of heartworm disease were confirmed there, she said. These including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are also transmitted by ticks, Belknap said.
   ...
   "The No. 1 allergy in dogs is fleas," Belknap said.
   ...
   Not only can fleas cause allergies in dog and cats, but they also can transmit tapeworms, Belknap said.
   
   A sign of the flea allergy is a pet that is itching a lot or grooming itself a lot, she said.
   
   Some of Richardson's customers have been controlling fleas in homes with bug pesticides or "bug bombs," she said.
   
   To control the problem at the source, a flea collar can help a pet, but the best method of control is a liquid drip between the pet's shoulder blades, Belknap said.
   
   Both Richardson and Belknap recommended Frontline, Advantage and Advantix to stop fleas and ticks. These treatment medicines are available at either clinic and can be applied by the pet's owner. Advantix, however, is only for dogs because it is toxic for cats.
   
   Belknap said she prefers these liquid medicines because a flea collar must be almost dangerously tight to work properly. A monthly liquid treatment works better because it spreads on the pet using the oils of the body, she said. "You get better distribution over the body," she said.
   
   Both veterinarians cautioned the use of some of the over-thecounter medicines. One, which has been pulled from shelves, has caused cats to die or have seizures, Belknap said.
