Tick Head & Duraflame Eating
by Seanna
(Panama City Beach)
Tick head still in my dog.
My dog got a tick when we went camping. My vet sold me some tick treatment to spray on it and said that it should come out on its own.
The tick died, did not come out, and when I was trying to remove it the body came off, but the head did not. It has been about two/three weeks, it never looked infected and still does not.
I am keeping an eye on it and there was a scab and now there is a bump where the tick was and where the head probably is. He does not like me touching it.
Will his body get rid of the head of the tick on its own or do I need to take him to the vet to remove the head?
He also just ate some pieces of a duraflame log that came out of the water I poured from my outdoor firepit that were submerged in water - do I need to do anything or will he be fine?
Thanks.
