The day before this whole thing started my daughter found a deer tick on the dogs face and like you said they are terribly small there so small its to the point of being easily overlooked.When the Mrs. got word of a tick in the house she went out and got front line my wife & I applied it to the pooch & I think that's when the tick/ticks jumped ship.

My Doc said that being able remove the whole tick indicates it was attached for a shot time,woohoo!
