On the street we picked up a kitten, he scratched his ears and shook his head. When contacting the vet clinic, we were diagnosed with a tick. Amitrazin helped us the first time. Repeated treatment with the drug has become preventive.

Svetlana, Krasnodar

We have a cat as a member of the family, we give him a lot of attention. But somewhere they didn’t keep track of it, he began to scratch his ears, and over time his head twisted. I did not allow to apply the tick remedy to the diseased organ, so I had to apply the option to the front line withers. Ear cleaning was carried out in the clinic, the effect of the drug was very satisfied.
