Hi,
Just came back from the vet this morning, my poor little goldendoodle puppy had a tick attached to her for the past 2-3 days.
The vet safely removed it and some little bruising remained.
See following picture for the tick:
couple of questions:
What kind of tick is this? Should I be worried?
Have you ever dealt with that kind of situation? I live in Quebec were Lyme prevalence is endemic.
Should I simply wait 8 weeks like my vet told me to screen for Lyme and hope for the best. My dog was supposed to have a basic vaccine and her first shot for lyme. Should I wait for blood tests before lyme vaccination ?
Thank you so much !
