Gloves protect your hands from tick blood or saliva.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t suffocate ticks with popular home remedies like nail polish and Vaseline.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t crush or tear the tick\u2019s head or body with tweezers. If you squeeze or break the tick, you may push the blood back into your pet, which increases its risk of infection.<\/li>\n<li>Disinfect your hands with an antiseptic after the job is done (yes, even if you wore gloves).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When To Call A Veterinarian for Ticks<\/h2>\n<p>While most tick bites may not warrant a visit to the vet, there are some cases where you\u2019ll need professional help. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanesociety.org\/resources\/what-do-if-you-find-tick-your-dog#:~:text=Talk%20with%20your%20veterinarian%20if,Skin%20rash\">According to the Humane Society of the United States<\/a>, you should talk with your veterinarian if you notice any of the following signs of illness:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lethargy<\/li>\n<li>Joint pain or swollen joints<\/li>\n<li>Skin rash<\/li>\n<li>Fever<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Decreased appetite or thirst<\/li>\n<li>Inflammation near the bite area<\/li>\n<li>Neurological problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any of the symptoms above could be a sign that your dog has a tick-borne illness. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/health\/tick-borne-diseases-dogs-prevent\/#:~:text=They%20present%20a%20danger%20to,Babesiosis%2C%20Bartonellosis%2C%20and%20Hepatozoonosis.\">According to the American Kennel Club<\/a>, the most common tick-borne diseases for dogs are Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Babesiosis, Bartonellosis, and Hepatozoonosis. <\/p>\n<p>Some symptoms may not show up for weeks after the bite, so it\u2019s important to keep a close eye on your pet.
