We found 2 bites on Gil and just like the three bears found Goldilocks asleep in the last bed, on the 2nd bite the tick was still there. I tried to get it out but it broke off with the head still in his skin. Called the vet this morning and described it. They said it was a deer tick which does carry the lyme disease. So we're just to watch him for about a month to see if any symptoms show up and in a month he can get the test to know for sure if he has lyme disease or not. I'm really hoping not. And I dread the cost of that test, knowing that in the U.S. the price will be super higher than it should be. I guess he's had his last nature hike!!
