HELP! there's a tick on my dogs...

[Pistons_In_7]

do the match trick,.

[katyon6th]

Last resort, take him to the vet. It may cost you an arm but it'll be so worth it to your dog.

[Brutalis]

The tick is so embedded in his skin I don't think the end of the match would burn just the tick... but .. I don't really care at this point. It needs to come out sometime here reaaal soon.

Now I am all concerned with the lime disease is it called? Lol, I hope that's not fatal.

I am thinking about taping his mouth shut and trying the shampoo again.

No! He will choke himself.

try the match trick or you can also try an icecube.

[Pistons_In_7]

also you can use a flea comb.

Swaddle him up tightly in a towel, stick a sock on his head. That's how my Dad restrains his Chihs for nail clipping.

[leemajors]

He's licked his skin raw, so rub alc is out the window. And yeah the first thing I tried was a lighter, and he freaked at the sight of the flame closing on his nads haha.

well a match usually works better because of the sulphur.

[leemajors]

are you sure this isn't a chigger? or did he bite the body off of the tick.

[Brutalis]

it I am about to take him to the vet and let them deal with it. Then go ahead and buy some Front Line or whatever to keep this from happening again.

Thanks for the help I'll reply again with what happens.

(gd tick beside a pecker man i guess it coulda been worse)

I JUST thought of that. He did. The tick is half cut off.....

[Pistons_In_7]

is there any swelling or inflamation around where the ticks head is?

All my advice. You're welcome.

Try to shoot the tick with the gun, but avoid hitting the dog.

[Pistons_In_7]

go back and read step 12

[leemajors]

frontline isn't terribly effective. you'll need a separate heartworm medicine as well.

Hm. What's heartworms have to do with his dog being treated for a tick?

I hated this show.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

There's a pill (I forget the name of it at the moment) that vets can give your dog which will kill any fleas/ticks within an hour or so.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I hated this show.

In four words you have managed to sound like the craziest crazy that ever crazied. That show kicked so much ass. I think you resented the Tick for the fact that he could probably take Stallone.

SPOOOOOOONNNNN!

[E20]

It's not that the show was bad, but it made fun of every comic book hero I looked up to. LOL

Fair enough. I'm a big Batman fan and I wanted to kick Deiflater Maus' ass everytime I saw him. (To make matters worse, Cam Clarke, voice of Maus in the Tick, used the same damn voice for Daredevil in the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance video game. It bugged the crap out of me.)

Bigshot was hilarious though.
