You don't want to pull the tick out because its head will break off and remain imbedded in your pet. The imbedded head is liable to create an infection. Pour a drop of olive oil, or other oil on the tick's body. As the tick suffocates, it will pull its head out before dying. I have heard that a drop of dish detergent also works, but I have never tried it.

How do you remove a tick in a dogs ear?

The tics head didn't come out when i tried to pull it out of my dogs neck. i only got the body now what happens?
Not sure if the tick's head will cause a disease or infection. The best way to remove a tick without pulling on it is to put a drop of olive oil on the tick. The oil will cause the tick to pull its head out as it suffocates.
How should ticks be removed from the skin?
There are many different ways to remove a tick and oil is one of them, but it isn't the best way to do it. You can either take your dog to a vet and have them take the tick out, or take a pair of tweezers (this is a two man job) one holding the dog as still as possible, and gently put the tweezers around the body of the tick and slowly pull straight out (DO NOT GO COUNTER-CLOCKWISE!) Be sure the head of the tick is still intact and if not then you will have to take your dog directly to the vets. Dogs generally get ticks around their nose area, top of the head and behind the ears, but it's mostly around the nose area. When my husband and I go camping where there are trees and bushes we not only brush our own hair and check each other out for ticks, but we do the same for our dogs and cat. DO NOT pull the tick straight out with tweezers! By grasping a tick with tweezers you can cause infected fluids to be pushed into your pet resulting in possible illness such as weils. You can take the dog to the vet and they'll remove it for you but you can also get really good tick picks from vets or pet shops which allow you to remove the tick yourself. Also dogs can get ticks anywhere on their body, mine is particularly prone to getting them in her armpits.

Do dogs get sick over ticks?
yes. But it also depends on what type of tick they get, the dogs age and how strong their immune system is. No, many dogs have ticks, just tell parents to remove them ;) Or just buy special tick collar - is it available in your country ? My dog also had immunization against fleas and ticks. ~Maite

What if you leave some of the tick inside a cat?
First of all . . . never pull on a tick that is attached to an animal's skin. It can break off and leave the tick's head under the skin. If that happens, then there is a high risk of infection. A veterinarian should removed the remainder of the tick, and apply and antibiotic. He/She may decide to put the cat on a course of antibiotic tablets.
How do you get ticks off a dogs?
A good way to remove a tick from anything is to cover it in vasaline. While the ticks head is in the skin it breathes through its body. By covering it in vasaline you take away that ability to breath and it will come out. Watch it carefully so you can remove it once it does. Never try to pull a tick out yourself as its head can come off and cause further prblems.
