the tick

Wed, 8/27

I see a little bump in the fur on Koa face. I wasn't sure what it was. I thought maybe it was a mole or something. But today, I happened to be picking at it and it came off. I turned out that it was a tick.

Despite not doing it in an approved way. (I just kind of smashed it between my fingernails and pulled it off). It seems to have been removed OK. At least I haven't seen any problems in the couple of weeks since I removed it.
