Engorged tick on Echo

Not all the ticks can be found on Echo. Since she has lots of fur some ticks with go undetected until they engorge themselves with enough blood to become big enough to pop through her fur. Gross but we found this one behind her collar the other day. As they grow with blood they change colour from dark reddy brown to a grayish colour.
