We have a stray cat that has been frequenting our house and food bowls.
I have taken three ticks off him over the last two days, all of which are white in colour. When I squashed the tick to kill it, thick yellow liquid came out of them rather blood.
Has anybody else seen such a coloured tick in the UK?
Many thanks.
You don't want unknown parasites potientially dropping off in the house or attaching themselves to your other animal(s) - suggest you take him to the vet if he has no obvious owners?.
