This morning I found a tick on Maggie. I didn't realize what it was, just saw this brown thing that seemed to be stuck in the white fur under her chin. I grabbed it and yanked it off and realized to my horror that it was a huge tick!
I have no idea where she picked it up as we haven't been out in a bushy area recently. The last time was three weeks ago, but I can't believe I would have missed it for so long, it was gigantic!
Anyway, because I didn't know what it was and yanked at it, the pincers broke off (I literally heard them snap off, that was how big this thing was) and are still in her skin.
Now what do I do? I know there is risk of them becoming infected.
