Yes, you can use neosporin on your dog.. Have you made certain the head is completely out.. run in a circular motion and if you feel any thing hard in there take your dog to a Vet to extract.
To remove ticks without pulling use vasoline or Vicks and smother the insect with it. They will remove themselves.
Good Luck

i do no longer know approximately an injection yet there are drops that enter the bloodstream and poison the ticks. it truly is a as quickly as a month scientific care and in case you get Revolution or benefit Multi you would be keeping her against heartworm, fleas, around worms, ear mites and mosquitoes too. you need to spend it sluggish removing them manually. i could supply her a shower with flea and tick shampoo then warmth up some thing you could poke them with like a needle. The needle never worked for me, i could very intently use a curling iron to the touch the tick on the back devoid of touching your dogs. this technique gets the tick to eliminate its head so which you shouldn't be giving your dogs an infection in case you lose the top in her skin. desire this enables!

Good idea to put neosporin on, but make certain the entire tick is removed, head and all, and you have cleaned the site with soap and water first.
Advantix repels ticks as well as fleas if you put it on your dog once a month.

It should heal just fine, but depending upon where you live you should have your dog checked for Lyme Disease.
Clinical illness in dogs usually occurs 2 to 5 months after initial exposure and the likelihood of disease and the severity of the disease seems to vary with the animal's age and immune status.

I would check with your vet first, (a phone call is always free), but I don't think a little bit would hurt. I would think don't overdo it if you decide to try it without consulting the vet.

They don't just bite. They burrow under the skin. Be sure you remove it and don't leave in the head.

You don't even need to use it, they take care of it them self, they have something in their saliva that helps heals the wounds.
