Should I get Lucy’s fur shaved down? There are several ticks and red ants colonizing on her body. These harmful insects have caused rashes all over her body.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. Shaving may help her, but she needs to be on a flea and tick preventive. She should also see her veterinarian as her skin appears infected. She may need antibiotics or a medicated shampoo to help her heal. I hope this information helps!
