Removing a Tick

It is important to check your cat for ticks. The longer it is attached the more likely that it can cause problems.

Ticks tend to attach to the sensitive areas, often hidden in the "armpits", ears, skin folds etc.

Your vet is the best person to remove ticks as she is more experienced. However whoever removes one there is always the risk of their being parts left behind and a local reaction at the site.

The best technique to remove a tick, is the by twisting rather than puling.

Several types of tick removers are available on Amazon. I use the O'TOM Tick Twister. They are durable and come in a pack of two for small and larger ticks.
