Buddy had one embedded into his head about two years ago. I was

housekeeping with it's rear end sticking out the top of my Bud's head.
Plus I use Frontline!
Glad you found that tick. I"m constantly checking for bumps on Bud.
I also get him the Lymes shot. We have too many deer and ticks where
we live. I do apply the Frontline every 6 wks instead of 4 and it works
the same. Two ticks in 5 years is not bad but they are gross.
Sending best wishes for Roxy not to be positive for Lymes.
If so she still may never show symptoms.
See, now I am worried that even though I put Frontline on her, she could still get one that wants to set up room and board in her skin
