engorged tick on sedrick After I gave Sedrick his bath tonight, I was drying his face when I felt a lump(about 1 inch from his eye) that turned out to be an almost fully engorged tick. I did manage to remove the entire tick(i think) using the tweezer method (the tick had some flesh still in it's mouth). He now has a large red welt(a little bit smaller than the size of dime) that is extremely irritated and very itchy. Is this normal after you remove the tick and what should I treat him with overnight? I did use a bit of peroxide to clean the area and also applied antibiotic ointment.
Thanks
