Bella's first tick
« 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?

Can't help I'm afraid but Walshies idea sounds good.

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.
