We have been Taking the dogs up into the bush with us lately to run, and I guess Tikeya picked up a Tick somwhere along the way...
I was petting her tonight and I felt (what I thought was a wart) on her leg, I moved apart her fur to reveal the discusting little creature that burrowed into her skin... I called my boyfriend out and he said it had leggs, and I told him to run and get some tweezers...
I put the tweezers as close to her skin as I could, and pulled the tick out, It came out with a chunk of skin in its mouth and left a hole!!!.. It was the sickest thing ever, it was wiggling its creepy leggs around, and YUKKKK!!!
So Of course once it started wiggling I freaked out and ran inside, My boyfriend burned it to death...
So should I call the vet now? can ticks make dogs really sick??
I looked on google and I the closest thing I could find to resemble what was on Tikeya was the American Dog Tick..
Heres a pic...
