first tick on Inca

kendal · Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:56 pm Post subject: first tick on Inca

mum decided she we should clip the girls tonight, we got Gypsy over and done with and i bathed her while mum cut Inca then i bathed her. when i had her in the bath i found a tick right above her eye Shocked

to me it looked huge but mum said is was an ok size compared to some she has seen. so i got to try out our tick twister.
im shocked that i hadn't noticed it till now, the girls haven't been to Croy for a good while so it has either been from the glen or possibly the wooded part of the power walk on wed so it might be a good idea to check your dogs if you were on the long wed power walk.

i think i got overly panicky about it as i have never seen one before and i felt guilty for not spotting it sooner. Embarassed

Kendal ............ Inca is black and fluffy, finding a tick on her wouldn't be easy!!!! Don't worry. Smile

We found one on Murphy a couple of months ago and it was really big - we'd obviously not seen it for a while. But the tick twister got it out and that was that.

KENDAL! I'm so disappointed in you.... I thought you would have filmed said tick removal, or at the very least taken a photo of it for us!

(I'm serious btw!)
