Not for the squeamish/ faint-hearted...
We live in an area with a lot of ticks. Every year at least one of the kids /pets manage to get one and I have a nifty little tick remover for this job.
We just got back from holidays and discovered Dcat 1 had an enormous tick on her cheek. She was due a dose of frontline so I did that and decided to wait for DH to get home to help me try to remove the bugger. (Dcat v jumpy so it is really a 2 man job.)
At some point, I was ironing, Dcat was washing herself and as I glanced at her, she appeared to be chewing something nasty -she had a really disgusted face on. And there was no sign of the tick
Do I need to dash her to the vets? This was Friday evening and she seems ok in herself. I know ticks carry disease and I'm a little concerned that part of the tick may have been [warning] left in her skin or something awful...
Any advice?
