We boarded our 7 month old westie this weekend while we were out of town and when we picked her up, there was a HUGE tick embedded in her cheek (well it wasnt huge huge but it was disgusting)! We dont know if she picked it up before we took her there or during her stay. With the help of a neighbor, DH and I were able to pull it out freely and successfully and we cleaned it up well.
Im new to this whole puppy thing still and I havent ever even seen a tick before (i grew up in the big city) so I was really freaked out and now I am worried that something will happen to my precious pup. Should I call the vet? Is there anything I should be on the lookout for? anything else I should be doing? Im so scared she will get some awful disease now and I am such a bad puppy mom because I hadnt gotten around to getting her any tick prevention from the vet yet.
I can only imagine what a worrywart i am gonna be when I have kids...
