adult cat tick bite by smallest tick I have ever seen I used tweezers to remove it and think I got it?
but it was so small and it was squished. Spot ok for several days and then it had a small scab which I think she rubbed off. It kept forming a scab etc and 5 weeks later I felt a bump. It looked like a pimple the size of a new pea. I went to squeeze it lightly to see if it had pus in it and she jumped and my finger nail lightly scraped the top and it bled and no pus was in it. Now it is 8 weeks and it is still the same. No redness around it but there is dried blood on the top. If I can avoid the vet would like to - had her teeth cleaned and it cost over 250 dollars. We live in Sweden and costs are outrageous. We will take her in if no help from here so no yelling. Good health and good jobs when we got her. Heart attacks and other major things and both are early pension losing over 65 percent of our salaries. Things change over 13 years time. But we have cared for out diabetic kitty through many wakeful nights and want her to be ok. I waited as my neighbor said before when she had a cat that it often got bumps like this and it would stay for a long time. She is tied on a rope outside when she wants to be and has had a couple ticks a year even though we put on front line and has never reacted this way. Thank you.
