So I was doing laundry and dishes and all the sudden my boyfriend said BABE come here now! So I walked over to see Sophie laying beside him and some wet stuff on the couch......I thought he was going to tell me she peed on the couch but then he pointed to this huge tick engorged with blood! I was shocked....she must have pulled it off herself...the head was still attached...it was just laying on the couch beside her....I think it was stuck to her paw because that was where she kept licking. She had K9 advantix applied on June 12th....however she had to have a bath a few days later because of a accident in her kennel. So I am so worried about her! Should I call the vet? What would you do?

P.S. it wansn't pee....just slobber from her licking her paw so much.
