Help I squashed tick while trying to remove it. It isn't out, what do I do?

Question

I noticed a lump on my dogs leg and assumed it was tick. She is a large feisty inside Rottweiler, who does not allow medicine, nail clippings etc., since i got here as an older adult. I tried to quickly remove it and apparently squahsed it, two times. The lump (tick) is still there and bleeding but now she will not let me near her. She is growling fierce, so I just put a bandage half way on it and washed up. I can get muzzle tomorrow and try again but I need to know hazards. Will we both get diseases, Lyme, etc. I am in the the south, in the city, small yard with grass cut fairly low and mulch flowers beds on it so germs won't spread much more. I use advantage which I just found out does not work on ticks.

Please help, what so I do, will it hurt her to leave it longer, will me and the kids get a disease?

Answer 1

Relax, there nothing to it, nothing will happen. Just use a tweezers to pull it, that way u'll be more in focus n the tip of the tweezer can directly pin point on the tick n pull it. After that simply clean it with any antiseptic, n chill. These are normal everyday matters n issues when u deal with dogs, keep ur cool n patience, its nothing serious, u wont get infected with any diseases. If the dog growls use a muzzle, or something sweet like a cookie to distract it, if nothing is available at the moment, make sure the tick is dead, as next day again u'll have to find it, n spray/apply antiseptic on the spot, next day just simply remove it with a tweezer and again clean the spot.

Ticks consume the blood of mammals, ordinarily scale down animals, akin to puppies, cats, rabbits, and so forth and so forth. Do NOT concentrate to the fool whpo published up there someplace approximately getting it off with tweezers. The tick will CONTINUE to suck the animals blood, even though part of it is frame is pulled off. You ought to get the tick DRUNK earlier than you pull it off. That manner, it releases and weakens the ticks maintain at the frame, after which you'll pull it off with no trouble with tweezers. After you might have it off, get the tick and position it among 2 sheets of kitchen roll. Get your nail (or a knife if nails are not lengthy) and follow strain to the center of the ticks frame. This will have to intent them to blow up. (I'm now not joking).
