Ticks are creepy insects that carry and spread diseases to both humans and animals, including Lyme disease, tick fever, Q fever, and more. In order to reduce or prevent disease, you must properly remove a tick as soon as it is discovered and dispose of it appropriately.
Here is how to remove a tick correctly:
The proper way to dislodge the tick is it with tweezers. Go at the tick more from the side than the top. Try to get the tweezers between the skin and the tick's jaws, and gently pull, by moving the tweezer a little with a side-to-side motion. A steady pull over a few minutes time, will usually tire out the tick enough to release its grip. Be gentle, yet firm. otherwise tick may leave its mouth part in your dog's body and that will be a serious problem. You should pick the mouth parts out like a splinter. if you are not sure enough, take the help of your vet to ease the dog.
