The only way to safely get them off is to suddenly pull them out by the head. Believe me as I have some experience with this. I also am somewhat educated as I have Lyme Disease and several other tick borne diseases. Squeeezing ticks and/or pouring anything on them will only make them vomit their stomach into the bit wound and ENDURE that you catch whatever they have to spread.<br />Yes I'm being repetitive, but it that important. Besides bacteria, you get parasites and viruses. <br /><br />As for the dog.... it looks anemic as its gums look more white that a healthy reddish pink. Might have a vet look into that.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me offer my educated 2 cents here<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-48601636557741449992017-06-18T13:54:21.974-04:002017-06-18T13:54:21.974-04:00thanks Rich, I'll check those out.thanks Rich, I'll check those out.Irishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772405362867585844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-48250499373354720032017-06-18T10:23:36.490-04:002017-06-18T10:23:36.490-04:00My dog got a big one a couple weeks ago right abov...My dog got a big one a couple weeks ago right above her eye. It was a Saturday naturally, and taking her to the vet wasn't an option. A retired veterinarian family friend stopped by with one of these handy things<br /><br />http://www.ticktwister.com/<br /><br />and he took the tick right out in less than a minute. I've since bought several, for myself and family and friends with dogs. The only thing is it takes the tick out alive, and you have to either crush it or drop it in alcohol to kill it. But I like that for removing from humans and dogs, as there's no chance of squeezing the blood from the tick back into the bloodstream.
