She has one again and I am hoping that the same thing will happen, if not obviously i will go to the vet. I found it on her tonight. I am afraid that it will fall off and attach itself to me during the night. Help!
Answers:
A tick will fall of when it's full. Why don't you just remove the tick? Then you wont have to worry about it. Try using a good flea and tick treatment like Advantage or Frontline and then you wont have any problems in the future
you need to tick her regularly. Remove them at once.
ticks are easy to control with frontline..see dr foster website for cheaper product. just locate the tick and pull firmly and flush it, don't leave it on the dog. it will fall off sometimes as it's moving and may attach to you. ps. ticks look for the most vascular regions on the dog..which is the head..just feel around and check for ticks everyday and that will help your prob.
As someone else said, the tick will fall off when it has had its fill, it will then crawl away to lay eggs, so it will not re attach its self to you, but it may try to lay eggs.
Get rid of it (kill it), use tweezers to remove the one on your dog, then get some tick control (frontline) from your vet to prevent them biting your dog.
You should always remove them from your dog, as some are very deadly, known as paralisys ticks and can kill your dog, the deadly ones are usually grey in colour.
Frontline Plus. Go get some from your vet.
