Millie had to go to the vets today to have a tic removed - Mick spotted it when he came home from work.
It was huge apparently! The vet has told us that we have to keep an eye on her for the next week as they can be quite dangerous - we have to look out for her being sick (that's a laugh - the dog who is sick at the drop of a hat), being lethargic (she is on her dope out drugs because of fireworks so is permanently lethargic in an evening) and off her food (that's the one to watch out for, that dog eats for England).
The vet said that tics can carry some very nasty diseases. She thinks, by the size of it, it has been on her for a couple of days.
