As the warmer weather approaches and more people travel to the coast please remember to treat your pet with a tick preventative prior to travelling. Paralysis ticks can be fatal to your pet without the correct treatment.
When travelling to the coast make sure to check your pet all over every night. Ticks love to get in the nitty gritty places such as in between the paws, in the ears, around the eyes.
Symptoms of tick paralysis are:
* Lethargy
* Vomiting
* Reduced appetite
* Panting
* Trouble swallowing
To avoid tick paralysis we highly recommend that you give your pet a preventative such as nexgard or bravecto prior to travelling.
If you suspect that your pet may have been affected by a tick please call the clinic on (02) 4821 1881.
We have a veterinarian on call 24/7 every day of the year for your small and large animal emergencies.
