I found a tic that was probably in my dog for a couple of days. Unfortunately the tics head broke off when I pulled it out. I called the vet and they said not to worry and that the head will work its way out which it did after about a week. There was no rash or any other symptoms except loss of appetite in the morning. We just got back from a VERY vigorous play time with other dogs at the beach so I thought she would be really hungry but she was not interested. It is 3:00 pm now and she still hasn't eaten her meal. I even offered her a piece of sausage(which she normally gobbles up) but she turned it down.
Does anyone think her loss of appetite could be related to her tic bite? Should I take her to the vet?
Pretty sure the tic was a pacific coast tic, but to be honest I'm not sure. She got the tic along the coast of santa cruz CA.
