my ferret has a tic on its head,whats the best way to get rid of it

[kill um with crisps 7]

Tick remover mate. Grip it as close to the ferrets skin as you can and gently twist it anti clockwise till it pops out. Then dab a bit of tcp on the wound in case of germs and infection.

I keep frontline for kittens for this reason. Where I am, picking up ticks is a common problem. Prevention is better than cure but saying that you can dab the tick with a bit of front line on your finger and more often than not it makes removing them easier.

cover the ticks with vasaline stops the ticks breathing and the ticks drop off doesnt take long.
