 Gross......tick!!!
OMG I am so grossed out! I just gave Lola her weekly bath. When I was trimming her ears I found a dead tick BURIED in her ear. She must have picked it up early this week when we were in Boston. We still have snow on the ground here!!
As you can see from the pic it doesn't look like I got the head. The tick wasn't filled with blood. It was greenish stuff. Here's my question. What do I do now? Because it was dead will the head come out on it's own? Maybe use some peroxide and neosporin? She's not even scheduled for her heartworm/frontline check up until April 9th. We usually dont start those until early MAY!!
There's no such thing as an emergency clinic up in these mountains. I will call her vet in the morning but what do I do in the meantime. Going to check the rest of her real well once she dries. Gross....my skin is crawling! |
