Do Tick Bites On Dogs Generally Get Swollen?
My dog had a tick in the back of his ear for 5-6 days, now 2-3 weeks later there is a bump the size of a small pearl where the tick was located.

Tick bites are caused by Ticks that are small wingless Bugs. Tick bites often cause swellings and infection on the affected area. You must take immediate steps to take care of this otherwise it might cause spread out and cause serious infection. See the link below for details:

Often dogs will scratch off a tick. When that happens, the snout/syphon of the tick is left in the skin (why they say to burn off a tick) often this is the cause of the infection. It is not necessarily the bite of the tick itself. Aicha is correct though, seek immediate attention for your animal. Antibiotics are needed, and perhaps they can get the bite cleaned out. Basically, go to a vet.

I was wondering if you took your dog to the vet or is the dog fine now? My dog has the same thing. She had ticks on her a week ago, and I took them off of her and put antibiotic on the spots but now they are bumbs with a scab and I don't know what to do. I am a college student who just got this dog from the humane society and don't have the money to take her to the vet.
I pulled a tick out of the belly of my dog but it is red about an inch round with white in the middle
that is what i noticed first and then found the tick is this something i should worry about

My 10 yr old dog has been bit a few times and developed bumps around the bite. I had it checked out and my very trustworthy vet said that is common and nothing to worry about. Just clean the bite area and keep an eye on it for a while.
