Title: Bella's first tick
Post by: MrsOmalley on August 04, 2013, 08:51:04 PM

I have just removed a tick from Bella's earlobe.  The tick picker said to spray the area with disinfectant I don't know what to use, any ideas?

We use pet friendly antiseptic wipes on Fudge's ticks - once the little blighters are out!

I have some antiseptic wipes in our first aid kit which I use on Jinley.  Just get some from Boots next time you are shopping.  Any human antiseptic will be okay.
