Just that really! Our DDog has never had ticks before but I noticed one at the weekend just before she was groomed and it was removed with a special tick removal tool. She’s now got a small red lump where the tick was removed. I’ve googled it and the advice seems contrary - some sites advising a vet visit, others saying often ticks teeth remain & it’s perfectly normal & should last about 2 weeks.
Other than this, she is absolutely fine and perky (no signs of Lyme disease). I’ve sprayed it with silver nitrate a couple of times & it doesn’t seem to be bothering her.
Any first hand experience? I’m loathe to pay a £50 vet bill for something that is nothing but on the other hand, if it needs to be the vets, off we’ll go. My childhood dog nearly died from a disease they’d caught from a tick (this was in Kenya so may not be something dogs can catch in the U.K.) so possibly I’m over thinking this.
