Could anyone advise please? Is this a skin tag or a tic?

    I’d guess it’s a tick. I’m not a vet, but I’d carefully pull on it. If it comes out, it’s a tick. Like 75% certain it is. Best of luck

      Don’t pull on it. You can seperate the butt from the rest of the body, and you push the blood back from its butt into your dog. If it’s a tick it looks really full, and will fall off soon. Get yourself a tick tweezer, that way you hold the tick from its body and then twist it off without risk of pushing blood back.

        Yeah I 2nd tick tweezers. I removed a lot of tick from shalter dogs and tick tweezers are so simple but efficient: just don’t pull but rather, like state, twist it off!
