| What size are ticks/flea? So I felt 3 little scratches on Duke's right leg today and looked at it more carefully, they are small little pinkish spots. I got nervous and have been doing research on ticks/flea. He bites at it occasionally not excessively but he is biting at it. I noticed that there is 1 black dot near his penis. It's the size of the dot above the letter i. When I feel it, it's not moving and it's not coming off, not sure if it's a birthmark. I'm taking him to the vet on Saturday. He has his K9 for the past few months and not due for another one this month until the end of the week. What can it be? He's still playful and acting normal. Do their behavior change if they have ticks/flea? This is my first pup so I'm not sure what to expect. Any advice is appreciated and I can't wait until I take him to the vet on Saturday. Thanks,

| Fleas would be moving so it sounds like it could be an embedded tick
