HGN 150 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Searched through the forum before posting and there is lots on removing ticks but not the heads/feeding tubes post balls up, pulling off and leaving them in there Covered it with vaseline but any other advice folks please - it was a young 14 week terrier pup not frontlined yet Any advice please? Do I leave it or is it a visit to the vet? ATB HGN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HGN 150 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) cheers Dabber and Simon - one other thing - this wasn't the usual black tick my dogs have had before - this one was red bodied / black legged and not swelled?
