| Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and let it stay on the repulsive insect for a few seconds (15-20), after which the tick will come out on it's own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. Don't know if this really works------but worth a try. |

| ive read online that anything that suffocates the tick can cause it to get agitated and to sick up all its poison before it dies. |

| Yesterday when we found a tick on Smokey, we lit a match, blew it out and placed the tip on the tick. The tick released and we were able to get the tick off of him with no problem.

Yorkie Talker | Tick removal I also found a tick already attached to my three year old Lacie, the first one I have found on her. It really did get me upset too, but I had already done some researching and found you should never try to kill it while attached, as it can leave some of the poisen in the animal. Instead take tweezers, and grasp firmly and pull straight up, no twisting. It came off, but she still has a round raised spot that I am concerned about. There doesn't seem to be any signs of the tick still in the spot, and she seems healthy. It has been three weeks. Has anyone else had this happen, or is it normal to have this? I have since read you should put the tick in a container and have the Vet check it for disease. That sounds like a smart thing to do, and wish I had heard that before finding the tick. Nita |

Yorkie Talker | Tick Removal I am so glad Lottie is doing well. We love these little sweet doggies, and finding a tick which can carry disease is upsetting. Let me know if you have any futher problems with the spot. Nita. |

What a shame these expensive tick/flea medications don't always work as they are supposed to even when you apply them EXACTLY as instructed | |
