Should be ok if it is not carrying anything. The issue is, that if they are carrying something, when you kill em, they spit out their insides back into the ferret. SHould be ok, as the ferrets will often scratch them off leaving the head. If you have some frontline, dab a bit of that onto it, apart from that, observe the ferret.

dont you remove them by twisting anticlockwide ? this removes the head properly (i think)

I put a tiny bit of antiseptic cream on the wound.

Aye put a bit of antiseptic on it but you will soon know it will come up like a big spot ,Is it bothering the ferret ?.

Try not tae worry to much.. the main thing about the Autom is it stops the tick emptying into the host,, Keep an eye on the area and stick a wee drop germoline on it,(any antiseptic cream) yeh probably arnae auld enough tae mind oh germoline !! hahaha..
