I do not think you need to worry,the blood is from your dog and it is mixed with an anti coagulant the ticks produce to keep the blood flowing so the tick can feed on the blood.

The danger with ticks is they can transfer illness to your dog so the best you can do now is to keep an eye on your dog to see if there is swelling around the bite area,and to keep an eye on yor dog to see if your dog gets ill and or gets a fever.

If your dog shows sign of illness you need to contact your vet for treatment,You might want to call your vet to get advice about this as there is some areas where ticks cause a larger danger to your dog.

It is not likely your dog gets innfected via the eyes as the liquid in the eyes of mamals do protect against innfections to a large degree.
