Have you ever seen a tick inside of a dog's hair?

I have seen lots of ticks before. We lice in the country and our dogs are always getting them. They latch on and suck the blood out. They are not really eating the flesh.

Euw! No, I haven't, thank God. I've seen pictures though. It looks so unpleasant. My dog has never had any ticks, but i've bought various tick removing tools 'just in case'. I just hope I never have to use them.

Poor baby! Someone should have taken that animal to the vet so that it's life could be spared. No need for an animal to suffer so needlessly. There are things that can be done medically to help an animal suffering from tick bite.

Hi cream97! Yes, I do once in awhile. I usually see one or two underneath its ears. We always know that they do have it when our dogs usually scratch their ears and when we checked it out, we will see a tick or two. Then we get them and squash it! haha.. Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

Yes, I have and I really feel sorry for the dog. It can't get the tick off itself most of the time. We should really check our pets often for those little creatures as they can make our pets very sick.

Hi there, actually its just sucking their blood. Sometimes if the dogs are really too lazy to scratch or the tick is embedded in an unreacheable part of the dogs skin, it would stay there until it too heavy and fall by itself on the ground. You should use Frontline to kill those ticks on your dog

It is sad to see an animal suffer from ticks. I know an easy way to remove them without causing more discomfort to the animal. Put a glob of liquid soap on a cotton ball and hold over the tick for 15 to 20 seconds. When you pull the cotton away, you will see the tick is now on the cotton, not on the dog. :)

cream not just once but many times, I really don't want to touch them but I really love my dog so I pulled them out.

i've never seen such a grossly sight my entire life. and i'm glad i didn't. i can't tolerate such sight or else i'll spit out. i hope i wont see it my entire life.

The tick isnt eating the dogs flesh but sucking the blood, if you leave them long enough they will eventually suck so much bloody they just drop off. However this isnt advisable as they can carry some nasty dieseases dangerous to both dogs and humans. So the best thing is to remove them with a tick remover trying not to touch the tick. A good spray of lavender and ecalyptus sprayed before a walk will discourage the ticks as will ltting the dog chew a bit of garlic before a walk as they dont like the smell.
