I've probably pulled at least 30 ticks off Jackson throughout the past 6 1/2 years.... no need to go to the vet. It's normal for the area to be a bump and scab up for a little while afterwards. He did test positive for lymes once when he was younger, came up limping/stiff-legged, and the test came back positive. I make sure to give him the flea/tick meds in the warm months and test every year, it's been negative ever since with no issues. |
