| Freaking Out! i found a tick on siri last night while i was giving him his nightly belly rub and i was panicking like craaaazy. we tried to get it off but we had no luck and for some odd reason i couldnt log on to yt to ask anyone for help so you can only imagine me running around in my pjs crying to my parents. it was about 1 am, so i didnt know what to do. my dad had me crate him for the night [he usually sleeps with me which makes me sooo freaked out i had my mom check my hair for ticks just in case. i know that sounds nuts but i am still freaked out] so anyway, i called his vet this morning around 7am and she said first for me to relax because he's utd with his flea and tick medication, and to use alcohol to draw the tick out...BUT when i went to do that, THE TICK WAS NOT THERE!!!!!! my parents are on yorkie duty until i get out of work, but im still buggin out. no pun intended. where the hell did the little jerk go??? is he wandering around in his crate now?? do i need to disinfected my entire room?? house?? is there like a colony of ticks in my house now??? i feel so bad that he had this bug on him. and even worse that i couldnt get it off last night and that now its prob bitten him and given him lyme disease. i feel so bad and mostly so scared. any suggestions?? any similiar experiences??? thanks guys. sorry for the rant, but u know me
