Removing Ticks from Your Horse

Monday July 6, 2009
I've noticed several threads on the forum talking about ticks. Ticks are something I haven't had to deal with--yet. One forum member from Alberta, Canada has discovered they've moved into her area. Ticks can cause problems in horses, such as painful lesions, Lyme disease and even anemia if they aren't checked. Janet Tobiassen Crosby, DVM, About.com Vet Medicine describes how to remove a tick safely from your pet's or your own skin.
