My dog has ticks. Can I give her leftover Papi Doxy for tick illness?

Question

Weve had 2 dogs diagnosed with blood parasitism which I heard are spread through ticks. And we kinda have a tick problem at home and Febe has ticks too. & im worried she might have it too. We dont have extra money to take her to the vet for check up at the moment. Although she seems perfectly fine. Eats and behaves normally. We still have the papidoxy left from my 2 other dogs before. Is it okay though if i give her papi doxy and the iron and liverolin my vet prescribed to my previous dogs? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 8 months old

I would not recommend sharing medications or treating a dog with no symptoms without confirming infection first - you should ensure that the two positive dogs do receive their full course as prescribed. Thorough tick prevention is vital in areas with tick borne disease and minimises the risk of any diseases being transmitted to your pets. Seresto collars (8months protection), bravecto tablets (3months protection) or simparica tablets (4-5weeks protection) would be recommended but your vets office can advise on other effective options and frequency of application in your area
