Ticks - help!!!!
Tommy had a tick under his jaw.
I rang the vet and the nurse said it would be easy for me to remove it myself by putting vaseline around it then after 10 mins or so, tweesering it out.
Anyway she stressed that I must get it all out. So Mark held Tommy and I tweezered. The sac thing came off but I believe the tick is still in Tommy's skin.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I tried to tweezer it out but it wouldn't come. In the end Tommy was upset and it was bleeding a bit so we put some antiseptic cream on and left it.
Will the tick die now or what?
