[QUOTE="Star*, post: 173066, member: 4964"] Daisy - DO NOT YANK THAT TICK!!!! It could leave the head in. IT DOES NEED to come off - any you can do that by lighting a match and blowing the match out and sticking the red hot match head on the engorged body of that tick - If the head is in ? It will back out quick. If the head is not in? It will back out quicker. When you get it out - BURN IT. Get an ashtray, light some more matches and burn it to crispy. Once the tick is out - and your dog is totally dry - THEN apply Frontline - And by the way - Frontline is not 100% effective against ticks. She will still get them - and they will bite - but it prevents her from being covered...so you will still have to check her occasionally. If she begins getting sick contact your vet. [/QUOTE]
