I put frontline on my dog, yet I have found 2 ticks on my dog. The first I removed easily with a dog tick remover. However, the second one on the head is the problem. The body came of, but the head is embedded. I put a little frontline on top of the area. My question is- I am a nurse, and now how to put in stitches, so should I lance the area, then remove the head of the tick, and suture it up, if needed-I do not think she'll need it sutured, but just in case, then put some antibiotic ointment on it or should I wait until the vets office is open tomorrow? She is showing no signs or symptoms of lyme disease.
