I noticed a Tiny black tick on my chihuahua so I had my husband take it off and its been a week now and there is a red bump! What should I do is this normal? Does it mean that she has lime disease??? My other dog had a huge tick on her and I had to shave her to check her for anymore but she didn’t and now where the tick was is fine no bumps or anything and this is why I am so scared about my chihuahua! Please help!

Hi There! my name is Ashley and i happened to come across your question.
My Answer: I think that the tick may have started burrowing in your chihuahua ( I love chihuahua’s!) I am very scared for you also
Take Her to the vet and get her checked out. They may give her medication or just give you a Solution.

If you did’nt get the head out then your dog is infected.You have to remove the whole tick not just the body,if any part is left then the tick is still doing it’s thing.I would get him to the vet to remove the rest of the body

While your husband got most of the tick, there might be some of the tick left buried under the skin, like the head. You might want to take it to the vet to get thoroughly checked out.
