Yes you can, you can see them even better. By then you should get medicine for you dog.
Ticks are not contagious. A dog can only get a tick from another dog if the tick walks onto the other dog.
The scientific name for the American dog tick is Dermacentor Variabilis.
a red tick is a type of coon dog
A tick gets fed but the dog gets killed. so its parasitic.
A tick might jump on the dog, even though the dog has been treated with a monthly Flea & tick preventative, but it will not stay on there as it will die in a few hours or sooner. A tick has to bite/suck the blood out of the dog for at least 12 hours before it can pass on the diseases it carries so the Preventative takes care of that, it kills the tick before it can pass anything on and then the tick just drops off.
If the surrounding area is swollen or red, the dog may have an infection from the tick bite, but if the skin looks and feels normal around where the tick was removed, there shouldn't be any connection to the tick bite. Also, make sure you removed all of the tick's head and mandibles from the bite spot, as this could keep the wound open allowing infections to enter. Always see a vet for a final answer.
If you are very careful, and depending upon how deep the tick is buried, one way is to apply heat to the tick but not to the dog. Touching the tick with a burning cigarette might do then trick.
The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
no i dont think so
Well this is a common case of parasite and host. The tick is the type of parasite that keeps its host alive but ticks still carry deadly diseases so the relationship is complicated, but for sure the dog is the host and the tick is the parasite, that does not intentionally kill its host in order to complete its life cycle.
to remove a tick from a dog get a pair of tweezers and put them aroun the tick close to the skin and pull, however do not twist or pull too fast as this may leave the head inside and lead to infection, or yo can get anti-tick spray.
