My regular vet is walk in only so I"m going to go after lunch. I've been looking at pics online and they all seem to have the legs out. I don't see anylegs, but I def can feel a big bump under the skin. She also has two other small bumps between her shoulder blades but those have been there for forever. Same with she had this bump on her elbow for a long time, looked the same. We went into the vet to get something else checked out and I just asked them to look at it. Just when I go to show them, it had ballooned up and the vet pulled it out. But it had been there for months before and never ballooned up.

Yeah, ticks will balloon out after a feeding, you don't always see them after a feeding. I'm not sure how that works or how often they feed. I couldn't see any legs on the tick I had seen, until I put the nail polish oh it. It took a few minutes and the legs came out. After I pulled it out, I could see a tiny bit of blood.
