Here's why:
* Ticks can cause serious health problems. They can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis.
* Moles can sometimes be cancerous. While not all moles are dangerous, it's essential to monitor them for changes in size, shape, or color.
Here's what you can do:
1. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. They can examine the spot and tell you what it is.
2. Take clear photos of the spot. This will help your vet make a diagnosis.
3. If you think it's a tick, try to remove it safely. If you're unsure, your vet can help.
Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. A veterinarian can give you the best advice for your dog's health.
