This was actually on Bondi Vet last week, a woman found a tic on her dog and removed it, but the head stayed in. I don't think they found any more tics, but he still was going downhill.

Personally I wouldn't mess around if I thought it was a tic, they can affect the dog so quickly, it's best to get in early just incase.

Hope your pooch is ok.
