Protect Against Ticks
Once a tick bites, dogs who are not on preventative medication are left completely vulnerable. All dogs not protected with flea and tick medicine are considered susceptible to tick-borne diseases, which are passed on to pets through tick bites. How Tick Diseases in Dogs Work When a tick attaches to your pet to feed on blood, the tick can deposit a disease-causing organism into your pet. Ticks often have to be attached for 24-48 hours to transmit disease, but some diseases may be transmissible within just hours of tick attachment. Tick diseases in dogs can have similar symptoms to other serious diseases and are difficult to diagnose without appropriate testing. If you suspect that your dog has a tick-borne disease, it is important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. You can help keep your dog safe by being informed on the potential outcomes of a tick bite. Discuss with the veterinarian various forms of prevention, vaccination or testing if your pet is bitten by a tick. Be sure to keep your pet protected against these most common tick diseases found in dogs: Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Babesia, Bartonella, and other diseases depending on the type of tick and area of the country you are in. We offer various preventatives here at the clinic and can discuss with you, the owner, risk for ticks depending on lifestyle. Please give a call or when at your next appointment, please ask if you are concerned at all about ticks and the diseases they carry, for they are becoming more prevalent in all areas of the Midwest. |
