A Zecke is the German word for tick. Ticks can transmit diseases and they suck blood and therefore you should remove all of them manually. The following flea and tick preventives will kill ticks: Advantix Seresto collar (has repellent action as well) Bravecto chew Simparica and Nexguard You should be able to get those in Egypt, at least via the internet. Sevin is CARBARYL, a carbamate which should not be used on dogs as it is very poisonous.
