Aww, poor dog!!!
I’d use rubbing alcohol, not hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is an irritant and shouldn’t be used on any animals skin including ours as it can even cause chemical burns in some cases. Alcohol is what we use for minor wounds at the vet clinic I work at.
Nonsense. You’re wrong.
@GreenGinger grossly incorrect
@Steve Kassel I can’t link things here, but look at the poison controls website entry for hydrogen peroxide. Burns with otc hydrogen peroxide are rare and unlikely if used as instructed but it still can cause them. Higher concentrations are much more likely to. Even otc Hydrogen peroxide causes irritation and mild tissue damage in wounds. There are several easy to access resources on this if you just use the handy device you’re on to find them as YouTube won’t let me help you.
@GreenGinger FALSE
All my life everyone ( also family and doctors) told me do not pull them, but to roll to any side. If it be pulled, the head may stay under the skin
Indeed, I have small plastic forks, which you also slide underneath the tick and when we twist it very gently the tick let go and came out without leaving anything in the doggies skin…….😮
Yep..youre supposed to rotate the instrument..round and round and the Tick will automatically lose the grip…never pull it out as the head of the tick can be left behind.
I was always told that too, your suppose to douse it with mineral oil so it backs out
You are correct
“And Not Twisting!”
Everyone in the comments: Twist!
On the farm back in the day we used to use a lit cigarette to burn ticks off which caused tick to remove its pincers & drop off, worked a treat.
I used the red hot head of a pin.
Ya or match
I have a small soldering iron. If the dog has a tick. Locate it touch it on the back with iron. Voila!
@Peter Weston Was a pain back in the day when you had to plug them in. These days little gas ones are great, eh?
… “a treat”, or out great?
Remember knowing types of ticks being attached to human skin is a must never leave a tick head under skin. If you do wrong you can poison yourself. This information is on internet about the breed of tick you have and serious bad that can result in by not removing correctly.
It looks like the head was left behind but hard to tell bc camera was so fast—that was also an awfully fast pop for “not a lot of pressure”
I was going to say the same thing
Put peppermint essential oil, and the Tick will jump off!
The head was left behind I seen it that’s a no no
Use finger nail polish, the tick breathes through its body. It will back out with it’s head attached.
The tricks like this actually make you more susceptible to disease and infection, this is due to the tick still being attached and regurgitating blood back into the bite. Same thing that happens if you squeeze the tick and try to rip it off the only way to do it safely is to grab the head and pull gently but firmly.
Never because it vomits into the dog and infects it
Can do peppermint oil as well.
Good advice , a little petrol on a cotton bud also helps get the whole thing out …dab the head end 👍
@pennyforem … Exactly. As an easy alternative, a squirt of brake cleaner is effective.
I grab it with my fingernails, pull fast while i scream! Works everytime
Lol the whole time I’m pulling it I’m like ew ew ew ew 😂
I do the same 😂
Always, always twist.
Exactly
Rubbing alcohol works really good
You are supposed to twist it to break the pincer grip. You can see the head left behind.
I thought you’re not supposed to leave the head behind?
@Anna Hunt that’s what I meant. On the video you can see the head left behind. If you twist it off with the special tick remover tool, it breaks the grip of the ticks mouth parts, then the head will come away cleanly. If you pull straight out, mouth pincers clamp down and the body separates. I’ve got lots of experience. We have paralysis ticks where I live in Australia.
I just squeeze the belly and wiggle it out, works every time
Yes you can see she has No idea what she’s doing. Your suppose to twist it off. How did a few days go buy before you notice it?
@Anna Hunt you definitely are supposed to get the head out. Tweezers work great so you can get down as close as possible. That looks like an awful tool to use and cut it in half
In Brazil we soak a small ball of cotton with alcohol and drop some on top of the ticks and they fall off immediately….
❤
They regurgitate the blood inside the animal
❤
Apple cider vinegar and coconut oil do the same!
“I’m not pulling very hard”
*hand proceeds to shake violently*
if she was really pulling hard the tick would have just broke in half and part of the tick would have stayed inside the animal.
it could be nervousness or the tick’s resistance made her shaking, not necessarily mean she pulled it a bit harder.
@Galaxy true, I think it was the camera shaking. Not her
@Xaphan I guess so, too
I was thinking “it sure looks like you’re pulling hard, also sounds like you’re a bit out of breathe..”😂
Twist 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull straight out. You can also suffocate it with oil and it will let go on its own. You left the head in the skin, could cause infection.
No you don’t use oil it doesn’t work
@Mary Jane pop-tart and weed queen420🥰it does
How do u get the head out?
Pulling it off slowely like that can cause the tick to release everything it has like blood back into the body. This includes paracites. Always grab it by its head and pluck it quickly
I live on a farm in a very rural area. We’ve got two dogs and three cats. Once winter ends, ticks become an almost daily occurrence. To remove them, we use a plastic tick spoon to get them off and ensure we get the whole thing. It’s super simple. This woman makes tick removal seem far more complicated than it needs to be.
plastic spoon? how?
@Pati it’s a special plastic spoon made for removing ticks. If you Google tick spoons, you’ll see what I’m talking about
I use Finnish tar shampoo when I shower, I don’t get bugs or flies on me. also use tar shampoo for the dog, it is important to shampoo extra around the dog’s head.
Went for a walk behind my house, down a path through the woods, with my dog. Found ticks on myself, so, I decided to check my dog. Found more than 150 ticks, and stopped counting @ 150. It took two days of removing the ticks to get them all off my poor friend.
😢
Thank god u noticed
