| My boyfriend already had removed it, well he actually pulled it. I have the minksheen shampoo since yesterday but I haven't used it on her. I will give her a bath today cuz they say it repels bugs, ticks and fleas

| Be careful pulling them out, it can leave the claws in and create an abcess I watched the video and that is a new method to me, very impressed I usually put strong disinfectant on the body of the tick and they drop out and die |

| If you have some tea tree oil, my MIL says just pop some on cotton wool and hold it on the tick and they fall out. Circle thing is pretty cool, though! Just I don't think I would be that brave... |

| I personally would dab it clean with some peroxide on a swab or cotton ball.

| I'm thinking you mean abcess instead f access right?. If its like a pimple then I would be sure to clean it well and apply a little antibiotic to it. When my dog had one it left a permanent bump..like scar tissue.
