| weird pale green looking bug ok so i have an indoor yorkie who sleeps in my room. Not on my bed she has her own little one. We have two german shepards outside the house. Recently my backyard was full of ticks & fleas. Juicy my yorkie never goes outside to the back. When i do take her for walks i take her arround the neighborhood but only on sidewalk or street. I dont like her getting on the grass because since she has medium length hair i dont want her to catch anything like ticks or fleas. My dad took her out one night for a walk when i was at work. Today when i got home from work i noticed something HUGE under her eye area. I totally freaked out. I got gloves and took that nasty bug off of her. It was the most disgusting thing ever! It was pale green in color big round ball as a body looked kind of like a pea texture kind of hard but soft ewww it had small legs very tiny ones && under it there was a tick. poor juicy she had blood taken out of her by those nasty bugs. I found two other ones those bugs all had ticks under them. Does anyone know what they are??? PLease help!!! I am going to check her for more then give her a bath. But i need to know what they are |

| Sounds like an engorged tick. It had to have been there a little while to be engorged

| Definately an engorged tick. It's not unusual to find smaller ticks under an engorged tick.

| EWWWWWW! I hate ticks! So sorry. That being said, I guess they are a part of life. |
