Thanks for the info! I am almost certain it was a deer tick that was on both of them! (it grosses me out to no end..ewww ticks!!

)
Anyways, Dexter seems fine again... and no pain since that night... but it was very strange! I didnt know if it could relate to lyme disease, or possible ear infection without redness, swollenness or smell... I dont know..
I think I worry a tad bit too much about my little guys!
