 A tick or not a tick?
This may be a silly question but the first time I am dealing with something like this. I don't know for sure is my puppy has a tick or not. I say this because I remember when my grandma's dogs had ticks they were fairly big and easy to see (they were short hair dogs). Stevies has had a bump near his collar for about two weeks. When I first saw it, it was not time for his Frontline again but I went and got it anyway thinking it was a tick. Well the spot dried up but did not go away. So I called the vet today and asked what I should do and they said to remove it if I could see it. So I got my tweezers and tried to take it away. Which seemed to hurt Stevie and I just got a few dry flakes. So the bump is still there and it is red from where I used the tweezers and when I touch it he is very jumpy. What could this be? |
