🚨🚨LOOK OUT TICKS ABOUT!🚨🚨
Over the past few weeks we have been starting to see more Paralysis Ticks on pets.
Paralysis Ticks can be found year round (not just Spring) here in Coffs Harbour and can cause very serious and life threatening symptoms to your pet if they have a paralysis tick on them.
Symptoms can include:
- Incoordination (especially back legs)
- Weakness
- Completely Paralysed
- Collapsing
- Vomiting or Retching
- Change in bark or meow
- Difficulty Breathing
If you notice any of these symptoms please contact us immediately on 6652 1577 and if possible remove the tick safely from your pet. Do not delay bringing your pet into a vet as symptoms can get worse quite quickly and Tick Paralysis is LIFE THREATENING to your pet!
We also highly recommend your pet being on flea and tick prevention year round in Coffs Harbour and if you have family or friends who are visiting with their furry companions that you let them know to put them on a prevention as well
