TICKS!!!! Empty TICKS!!!!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH They are everywhere!!!! i have found two on Romeo so far. on on his belly and then the other... on his * the poor thing. i had to go and buy all this stuff for him. Its not that i have never seen a tick before or never removed them from other animals... but just something about them has a SERIOUS ICK factor, and they are on my BABY DARLING SUNSHINE!
I just CRINGE thinking about them. when i found them i was horrified thinking he was going to die or become paralized... i watched him for hour hoping he didnt drop dead, but he seems to be ok....
AHHH oh god.. it freaks me the * out! they were so BIG, like the size of my pinki finger nail.. nasty grey bloated Phucking things!

I have been lucky that I have never found them on any of my pets. I have been unlucky that I've found them on me though! I dont want to s Someone we were with at the time knew how to get it off properly so I was ok, untill I googled it and found out you can get Lyme Disease from them!! Surprised I'm ok though, and it was a few years ago so I think I'll be fine! I hate google sometimes!

I hate them! I've got one of those little tick remover instruments always in the cupboard. I've only used it twice & I dropped the vile things in bleach! sick

I hate ticks. Never gotten on any of my dogs but I've gotten more than my fair share.

You have to be carefull how you remove them. I've always heated a needle and placed it directly on the tick and removed it with tweezers. If you leave the head burried in the skin there is a risk of lyme disease.

Really only scary the first couple of times though

I used to get them on myself a good bit when I was younger as I was always away camping with my uncle Laughing never on any pets though! I'm constantly looking Bailey over after he's been running through any long grass or anything though lol!!

Moo had one and at first I thought it was a skin flap or extra nipple Laughing Until it grew and I decided I was going to pull it off, needless to say I was at the vets the next day to get the rest of it out, ooops.

Disgusting things Xx
