Try putting vaseline around area of the tick...it suffocates the tick and it should back out.  Good Luck hope it works for you...worked for us.

Pretty sure a hot match head will help your get it out. Light a match blow it out and immediately apply to tick head and you should be able to pull it right out. Worked for me at least when I was younger.

The head will usually come out on it's own after the skin slofts away. Using a match only creates more problems.

Yes, do not pull the body out, because the head is the only thing harming it. If you've already pulled the body off and the head is logged in there still, you may want to see a doctor, or your dog will most likely get sick. Try using either finger nail polish (ticks don't like the smell and will often pull out) or a hot needle, and poke at it.

1. You use a tweezers very close to the dog's skin.  If you left the head inside the skin, yes they can get sick.  If this was very recent, get her to a Vet!... I know you must love your dog..Good luck!  Actually, you should ube using a product called Sentinel, which prevents heartworm, fleas and ticks.  I have used it with all of my dogs.

You take the dog to the vet and see what they can do. If they can't do anything then go to a human doctor.

Try wet cotton wool in warm water and place it in the area for a few Min's. Then use a tweezers to remove it . It worked for me :) x

If the head remains buried, try to get the rest out by using a disinfected needle the way you would remove a splinter. Afterwards, cleanse and disinfect the area.

This was advised by a dog site.

No once the body is removed, the tick can no longer regurgitate its poison into the dog. The ticks head will remove itself naturally.
