Dragondawg- thank you so much for the advice. I will monitor her closely the next few days/weeks. I bought some Tick & Flea Spray along with a Tick & Flea collar. We used the spray heavily on the affected area (which is huge) and the collar is on her. I think the head was attached to the tick's body when we found it. We did take it outside and burn it. I heard that here in FL the ticks don't carry any kind of disease? I don't know if that is true. Does anyone? Trust me, I worry a lot! =)
