I have just removed a dog tic from my foot. It was only small, but may have been on several hours. Should I go to the local clinic/hospital.?

Thanks, I'd been checking the dog earlier, and it most likely came from him. The vets don't stock Tick/flea collars down hear, as the locals won't buy them. So I powder him on a weekly basis.

You should try a product called "Frontline". Readily available in Thailand. You just apply to his neck and it will do the trick for a month or so. The vets can also inject your dog with a vaccine that lasts a bit longer.

As far as humans being biten by tics is concerned though, i don't think you have anything to worry about. Been biten myself by them many times and have lived to tell the story!

use ivomac. and most locals that keep animals have it. its a liquid. u can give it oral or injection (check our animal forum thread s about that.) just dont inject in collies or any dog with collie ancestory, it is fatal.

if u develop a fever and /or rash, u must go to a hospital and mention u had a tick on u. other then that, no need to go to clinic cause they wont find anything. google tick to find out the people diseases that u can get from ticks (they dont go from dog to human, the diseases i mean, but ticks are a vector for several human diseases, rocky mountain spotted fever and similar types for an example.

its not a specific dog tick. there are several types of ticks which also like humans , actually any mammals and other animals with blood to drink.
