Ticks!

We find our first tick on our corgi, we gave him a flea bath just in case two weeks ago because we thought we found a baby tick, and then used frontline on him, will he be okay or should we give him another tick bath? We got the tick off and the head of the tick as well (I learned how to remove ticks with the head in high school and we have a little tool that helps do it)

I would just continue to check him. The frontline should work. The downside of the frontline is the tick actually has to bite them to be affected by it...but they should bite and then soon thereafter die off and fall off of the dog.

I would not overdo the treatments. What you did should be sufficient for a month and even if he were to get a tick just take it off. I don't even treat unless I find several on mine and that depends on the year. This year I have found a total of 4 on all my dogs put together.
