Earlier, I thought the dog had a tick. But it wasn't a tick - and now I'm wondering what it was and I'm hoping you can help me figure it out.
It was embedded into her skin on her back around where her collar would be.
It was a little smaller than a grain of rice. On the outside, it was flaky and white.
As I pulled it off with the tick removal tool, the thing broke and it looked like there was a blood vessel running through it (i could see the red line through it)
The dog seemed (and still seems) completely unaffected by this, although removing the thing from her skin did make her bleed a tiny bit.
She has been wormed within the last 4-5 months and she has been treated with Advantage within the last 4 weeks.
Thanks :)
