I agree . If he's on tick meds then the tick most likely bit him and fell off because of the meds. I found like 1 tick per day on Cookie and I know how freaked out you must have been! The thing that I noticed was that the tick on him was not bloated and greyish looking when they are full of blood. I actually got tweezers and pulled it off and smashed it . When I smashed it there was NO blood. I ended up taking off all my sheets,pillow cases and comforter and washed it all, I moved the bed and night tables out of the way and I vaccuumed really,really well and I even sprayed the back (headboard area) of my bed. I bathed him in Tick shampoo like every 2 days. I never, ever found another tick again. All of this because I let him play outside with me. So for me personally...Cookie does not run around the grass in my yard anymore. I live in a big house and it's a lot of exercise for him since he's really small at 3 lbs.
I would clean the rug and your sheets. They love to hide in the cracks of your floor boards .
