My cat got a tick on the side of his mouth (about 3mm long so I'm hoping it's not been there long).
We've pulled it out (tweezers, didn't have a tick removal device, which I'll now get) but I think there is a bit of head in there so will take him to the vet tomorrow morning.
I feel upset about it, as he definitely got it from the garden (only is ever in our garden), which means we've got ticks in our garden.
How common is this? We live in an area with woods and deer but it's not really rural (suburban Surrey).
I'm worried about lyme disease, how concerned should I be?
