Rather than go to the vet,buy a tick removal tool.They're easy to use & are provided with instructions.DONT try & burn the tick off with a cigarette end or alcohol.This will just make the tick vomit up blood & with that comes possible diseases.
If you cant bear to try & sort it yourself a vets charges will vary.My vet in UK charges around £5, but anything up to £25 would be realistic...Vets are often very Expensive!
Yes, it is possible to accidentally squeeze a tick when trying to remove it from the skin. This can happen if the tick is not removed properly or if too much pressure is applied during the removal process. It is important to use proper techniques, such as using fine-tipped tweezers, to avoid squeezing the tick and potentially causing it to release harmful bacteria into the skin.
When a tick is removed and it "explodes," it is actually bursting due to the pressure of being squeezed or crushed. This can release the tick's bodily fluids, including blood and potentially harmful bacteria, into the surrounding area. It is important to remove ticks carefully to avoid this situation and reduce the risk of infection.
It depends how much tick spray the cat ingested, and which specific tick spray it was. It certainly would not be good for the cat. I would strongly recommend taking the cat and the tick spray can to the vet, as the vet is more likely to be able to find the effects of the specific active chemicals on the cat's system.
A tick varies in size depending on the species.
Hairs, Splinter, Stitches, Tick
The relationship between cattle egrets and cape buffalo would not be commensalism if the egrets removed ticks from the buffalo, because both species would benefit. The buffalo would be tick free and the egrets would have food to eat.
If you've removed a tick from your dog but they're still vomiting, it’s important to monitor their condition closely. The tick may not be the sole cause of the vomiting, which could indicate other health issues such as infections, gastrointestinal problems, or reactions to the tick bite. Consult your veterinarian as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Early intervention can be crucial for your dog’s health.

To read a graduated cylinder, first determine how much volume is represented by each tick mark. There are 10 tick marks from 20 mL to 40 mL, so each tick mark represents 2 mL.
Take a match and light it and or heat up a piece of metal, wait a second and blow it out. Very quickly touch the back of the tick. The heat will cause the tick to back out as far as it can. The head and or teeth of the tick will still be connected. You take your finger tip and thumb and squeeze the back and underside of the tick. Slowly pull it out, it takes a little work but it will come out.
