alimac 882 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 buy a tick remover from the vet or if its full then hold it GENTLY and slowly twist anti closkwise, about one and a half turns should see the blood sucker pop off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
surrey lass 12 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Smother it in vaseline, so it can't breath and then it will loose enough to remove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
osimons89 0 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 buy a tick remover ( best option) or burn it very gently and carefully with fag or some think hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OldNog 432 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 pinhc it as close to the skin as you can with out actually pinching the skin and give it a short sharp tug. Works everytime, never had a head stuck in me of the dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danny123 1 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 As 'Alimac' said, you can buy a tick remover from the vets. All you do is slide the forks around the tick and gently twist, has worked everytime for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kingkeeper21 2 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 if you get a pin and heat it right up and just press it on the little b*****d it should come away and just pull it free that always works for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
