Liz answered question 4/10/2010 How Do I Remove A Ticks Head Under My Dogs Skin? Is The Tick Dead Since I Removed The Body? If The Head Is The Only Thing Under The Skin, Can She Still Get Sick? Help. Denise 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.
