uh-oh! the 2 kitties have ticks...

Vet nurse told me the 2 strays had a couple of ticks on their ears on Saturday and immediately sprayed them with Frontline. I checked 24 hours later and couldnt see them so assumed that the what I was told was correct. However, this evening was holding kitten when I noticed what looked like an extra flap of skin in one of the kitties ears but then it seemed to move ...... I was like freaked out and my husband took a look then grabbed it and we could see it had really imbedded itself in the kittens ear and was kind of large and white and had legs and was nasty but we got the whole thing out including the head. Got rid of it out it went....since then took flea comb to the kittens and gently put it through them and about 15 mini brown/orange things fell out. They were also on floor around the crate they have been sleeping in. Well freaked out !!! husband got dyson suck them up off carpet and emptied the vacuum after. I am not sure of what to do now? Will get Frontline....but worried!! Anyone else experienced anything like this???eek:
