Never been in this position before as am usually very good and they come out in one pull complete with head. Lost my knack today and the polar bear has his very first tick..it was new in as still flat and sprawling legs but was stuck in garage having car window tamed and no tweezers to hand (took out of car last night!)Its an inch below his eye on his cheek, but he's quite furry,so couldn't get a good hold. I had a bit of squished tick gunk on my finger and an hour later when we got home he let me try again with tweezers.I stupidly broke the body off tho there is just enough to grab still in -and the head.
Whats the best thing to do? leave it? apply something to it-surgical spirit? I don't know why but thinking white vinegar for some reason tea tree or lavendar? orjust keep trying with tweezers.
I am cross because I've always managed to get them out first time. Please no one suggest the ciggarette thing as i wouldn't do that to him especially due to his past experiences and i don't smoke-feel very uncomfortable about that method anyway....many thanks in advance..Champagne Ice lollies for all those who got this far...now theres a thought..
