Vet Talk: The Tenacious Tick & Tick Borne Diseases by Dr. Laura Catena

Published Dec 19, 2021  |  Author: Dr. Laura Catena  |  Topic(s): , ,

Removing a tick

We are seeing more and more cases of tick borne disease with often severe consequences. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites.  Some of the most common tick-borne diseases in the United States include: Lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.  My dog Isabelle has had both ehrlichiosis and lyme.  We basically stay out of the woods now and I have her on immune-building supplements.—Red & Howling

1.  What are some early subtle signs of tick borne disease that we might overlook?

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to detect signs early. Some dogs may be affected but not present with any clinical signs for over a year before they finally show symptoms.
