tick removal - hope i got the head?
I just did my first tick removal on my dog. I first tried to suffocate
it with NuSkin, and then I ultimately saturated it with isopropyl alcohol. It never really "crawled" out on its own, though, so I pulled VERY gently. What came out is a large, tick-shaped thing with a skinny protrusion coming off the head. Very small and pointy. It looks like a pair of tiny, straight pincers. My question is, do ticks have a larger, round head? Or is the pincer coming off the top the part that you're supposed to get out? Here's a diagram of what my tick looks like: http://webpages.lincoln.ac.uk/fruedi...e_back%202.jpg Now, let's suppose I DIDN'T get the head. What now?? Thanks in advance, Jen |
