| Tick bite Hi guys, first of all, I want to thank all of you how responded to my worry about Beanie last week. My new question is, Beanie got bit by a tick. She now has a lump where it attached. The vet looked at it (along with bringing her in for being so sick) and said she wasn't worried, it was nothing. My question to you guys is: Is this a normal thing that happens after a tick bite???? The lump seems to be getting bigger. It is a totally superficial lump, I can move it around, but it is still a lumpy thing. Thanks all. |

| Callie always gets a lump after a tick bites her and they itch normally and sometimes it take 3 weeks for it to go away. The vet looked at one of Callie's recently because Callie started not feeling well for a few days after it but the vet said she couldn't really test for anything for a month and a half to two months because it takes that long for tick born illnesses to show up. I hear ticks are gonna be bad this year.

Teddy has had some big bumps from tick bites that took a couple of weeks to go away. He had one on his lower leg that looked like a marble attached to his pencil size leg. We test annually for tick-borne diseases.
