The tick was only attached for a few hours but the site of the bite kinda hurts and is a little red.

I pulled the tick off with twezzers and it turned red. I didn’t pay much attention to it until a few day back and now it fells as if the bite mark is scabing, is this normal?

I pulled a tick off my daughter’s scalp and all around the bite was black stuff, similar to black pepper or flea dirt. I scrubbed her head real good in the tub and it all looks to be gone. Does anyone know what it is?

I removed a tick a couple of days ago. Now the area I removed it from is swollen, like a mosquito bite and a little pink. It’s not in a bullseye pattern like the pictures I’ve seen of lyme disease. It’s not itchy, just a little swollen. Is this a normal reaction?

Im leaving Tues for a week in Florida to visit family and Im bringing my dog. Hes on Frontline already as we live in WI and have a huge tick problem. So with Floridas sand fleas should I get a flea collar too in addition to his frontline?? Thanks

I found a strange bug on my dog the other day after taking her back from a friend’s house who was watching her. The bug was not biting or hurting her, it was just laying on the fur on her chest, somewhat burrowed in. I’ve seen this type of bug about two or three times [...]

I used Zodiac Flea & Tick shampoo and just used the Zodiac carpet and upholstery powder and the flea collar label says "do not use this prod simultaneously or within 30 days of treatments/exposure to cholinesterase inhibiting drugs, pesticides.. But that is very indirect and confusing?

The monthly flea & tick medicine is a common kind, prescribed by the vet, that comes as a liquid in something resembling an eyedropper that you put on the dog’s skin, between the shoulder blades. It’s supposed to absorb into the skin and protect from fleas and ticks. I’m worried that if I give her [...]

I found a tick on my bed yesterday so I gave my dog Frontline, at night I checked his skin for any signs of ticks & he didn’t have any. This morning I find another tick on the floor close to where he sleeps. I thought all the ticks were supposed to die after Frontline? [...]

because i have no idea what kind of tick it is, it is completly black, round smooth shell. I found 6-7 of them on him in different sizes, some considerably larger than others. When i crushed the bugs they didnt appear to have red bood in them but black stuff.
