Yesterday my dh took the pups to the dog park where they ran and ran. It was great until we were getting ready for bed and I noticed a weird lump on Minnie's head when I went to pet her. I lifted back the fur and THERE WAS A HUGE WHITE TICK! EWEWEWEWE! We removed it with tweezers and drowned it in a cup of alcohol, but unfortunately a small piece of a pincher is still stuck in there. The more we tried to get it the worse it got because she started to swell up around the bite, and we gave up after 20 minutes because we were afraid of making it worse.
Do I need to take her to a vet today? I've been in the woods my whole life and thankfully never had a tick, but now I don't know what to do. HELP!
