Best thing to do is use a pair of fine tipped tweezer, get as close as possible to the head of the tick and pull it straight out. Do not twist. It may take a little tug to get it off, it is not painful. Attempting to use heat or ice may make the tick expel its fluids which can cause infections.

Probably the head of the tick if you didn't remove it correctly. Dump some mineral oil on the tick, [enough to completely cover it] and then gently twist tick counter clockwise while gently tugging tick out. Do not try to sqeeze it out. It will eventually be dislodged by the body's own defences against foreign objects.
How do you safely remove tic from head?
Put a small drop of olive oil on the tics; the tics will pull out and die and the oil won't harm your pet. Best thing is to use a tick pick which you can by from a vet or pet shop. Even if a tick is dead when you remove it there can still be infected liquids in the tick which can be passed into the dog if the tick is squeezed when removing. A vet will also remove a tick for you.
Can you put two flea and tick killers on the same pet?
No. If it is the dosage for your dog's size or body weight, do not double the flea/tick killers since this can be toxic for the dog. If the dog is badly infested, you can get pills from the vet called Cap Star, which will kill all fleas on the dog within 24 hours. After that, you can then put a single size/dose flea/tick killer on the dog to kill any eggs the fleas may have laid before they were killed by the pill (Cap Star).
