It's common for a small bump or irritation to appear at the tick bite site after removal, due to the body's immune response to the tick's saliva or minor skin trauma. Keep the area clean and monitor it daily. If the bump becomes larger, more red, painful, or you see discharge, or if your dog develops other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite, it's wise to contact your vet. Some ticks can transmit diseases, so ongoing vigilance is important.
