Just found something in pablos fur

[tinkerbell23]

In his beard!

Looks attached to his skin...like size of a popcorn kernal or a small bean? Brown in colour and soft....actually looks like sweetcorn kernal except brownish!!? And at the skin looks almost stitched in with black stiches! Wot the heck is it...tryin to upload a pic. He isnt growling or flinching when i touch it so must not be sore! X

Lovebite tinkerbell ? lol

A Tick, dont try and pull it out

[LoftyLottie]

Sounds like a tic. It needs removing. Don't just pull it off, it would leave the head embedded!!

I presume Pablo is a dog not a fella!!

[notasyoungasiwas]

[carmalee]

possibly a tick or a small wart - be good to see a picture.

[tinkerbell23]

Do you live in the countryside, lots of ticks there.

[cupid04]

tweezers, and give it a good yank, you must get the whole tick out.

The fact that its the size of a sweetcorn kernal means it has engorged and filled with blood, the reason that Pablo cant feel it,is the tick aneatizes ( Know thats spelt wrong)when bites. It should drop out in a day or two. Use one of flea / ticks drops, which should keep him clear for three months

[tinkerbell23]

No i dont but he walks round the park etc so probs ther.

Omg, what am i going to do i hate bugs LOL...thats LL

Hmmmm. Should i do it....or vet? X

[Ratty2E]

Certainly sounds like a tick, you mustn't try to pull it out unless you have proper tick tweezers. You could try this http://www.instructab.../How-to-remove-a-tick

[notasyoungasiwas]

You could take it out yourself, but you sound like me, wouldn't want to. I personally would take my dog to the vets. Horrible things ticks !

[LoftyLottie]

If you feel uncertain, then let a vet do it Tinker. They are quite common. Do you use Frontline on Pablo. Prevents fleas and ticks.

[LoftyLottie]

Bring it to me I will do it quite happily. I have taken out dozens over the years!!

[tinkerbell23]

Aww i feel dirty! Uuurgh!! Besties n bugs!!! Oh well i guess dogs get these thngs! Yep we worm him and frontline etc ill mabye buy more and do more regularly! Ive phoned my dad- mby we will
Pop to vets- i hate bugs but i mut admit id get satisfaction i i got the thing haha

Erm. Can i get ticks!!!!!!!!

[sallybb]

Thats one expensive tick removal if you go to the vets,.Pop to the vets by all means but just buy some Frontline. The tick will absorb and die. But from the description it will drop of in the near future anyway.
