Is this a tick on my dog?

I would strongly recommend that you take your pet to the vet. Removing a tick can be tricky as you have to be sure to get the tick out completely and not leaving the head still in the dog. You have heard of Lyme Disease? This is caused by ticks so please get your baby to the vet ASAP.

It doesn't look like a tick. I would say to keep an eye on it but you are saying that your dogs behavior had been strange lately and he is looking sick. Under those circumstances, I wouldn't hesitate to call and make an appt at your vet.

It doesnt look like a tick to me. Your best bet is going to call the vet and make an appointment to get him in and looked at

It could possibly be a tick bite, but since there is no tick there I dont know. If you really want an answer, call your vet for an appt.

Well, first of all, you're asking "non-vet" ppl. It doesn't look like a tick to me, but, ... if your dog is not acting or feeling well, he needs to see a vet. This could be serious (but, I hope not).

It isn't a tick maybe that virus that is like doggie staph...I don't remember what it is called though..Go have him looked at by a vet before it gets worse.

that's not a bug, looks like a bump. Don't try to remove it, have a vet look at it.
