Oh boy - it's that time of year. Not even May yet and the ticks are out. We picked 5 off of Sully yesterday. 3 were stuck in him the other 2 didn't get in the skin.
The vet told me to put a little glob of vasoline on the nasty sucker. She said ticks breathe out of their butts
and that putting vasoline suffocates them and makes them back out and then it's easier to pluck them out with the tweezers.
Out of the three that were engorged I got two out completely. Unfortunately, the first ones head is still in there.
I dabbed this one with alcohol and put a dab of neosporin. I hope it's ok, it's scabbing over.
Does leaving the head in hurt them?
