Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Just keep a close eye on the area. A little Neosporin applied to the spot twice a day would be a good idea. Not all tick bites will cause disease, so just watch over the next 10 -14 days any signs of illness in Tobi. This would include lethargy, loss of appetite, reddened eyes. Take care.
