But I also have bad luck, She once had a tick, first one I saw on her, and I didnt panic, got a tick remover, couldnt get it out properly, didnt think much of it, then she started shaking, being sick and had a look where the tick was and it went all yuck and covered in puss, so I started crying as I do whenever I panic, and got bf to ring the vet at about 11pm and he said not to worry, bring her in the next day which I did and they said it just got infected! Perhaps Nic, you could suggest to your boyfriend that he could stock a few of the lever tick removers in his shop? They are the only sort that is recommended by the Lyme charities for removing ticks because they sort of manage to scope the head out along with the body. I'm sure Brandy will be fine, but as with all things, just keep an eye on the area. And talk about panic, you should see me sometimes, a real headless chicken! I was another one with no idea about what happened if you used vaseline Lu. Or burning, zapping etc - it was only through an American email group (where Lyme is a much greater risk than here) that I found out.
