Tick Head Stuck In my Poor Baby Any suggestions on trying to remove an embedded tick head..I am usually good at removing them, but unfortunetly this time Cody moved at the wrong time..:eek: :eek: :eek: I've been trying to pull out with tweezers..without any luck..Should I be concerned about infection or even worse..:( |
To remove an attached tick, use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers or special tick removal instruments. These special devices allow one to remove the tick without squeezing the tick body. This is important as you do not want to crush the tick and force harmful bacteria to leave the tick and enter your pet's bloodstream. |
If a tick's head gets stuck under skin, make a equal mix of honey and baking soda, mix, then warm(do not burn skin) and put on a Band-Aid/compress. Leave this for a couple of hours, may need to repeat with heat, and ticks head will come out. |
