My dog had a tick I discovered two days ago. We made an appointment to the vet for this coming monday, but the engorged tick fell off. Im still going to the vet but what steps should I take? He’s fully vaccinated but should I bathe him, use some spray, throw out everything? Does this mean the tick is gone or did it lay eggs? Please help
