❌ Is your Pets Tick Prevention up to date ? ❌

Recently we have been presented with an unusually high amount of Tick Paralysis cases, especially in cats.

Paralysis ticks can be very difficult to locate on your pet's body, as they start off extremely small. The longer they remain attached to the animal the larger they become and the more toxin they release. Paralysis Ticks can be identified by their grey body & brown legs set close to the head.

What to do if you find a tick on your pet ?
Do not try and squeeze it or pour anything on it. The best way to remove a tick is to use a Tick Twister to remove it correctly. This would be the best time to give our clinic a call to help assist you further.

Common signs of tick paralysis in your animal are:

- Change in Bark/Meow
- Hyper salivation
- Vomiting
- Uncoordinated gait.

Please make sure all your fur babies are up to date with species appropriate prevention. There is now a nationwide shortage of the Tick Anti-Serum used to treat your pets when presented with Tick Paralysis.
Prevention and daily checks are definitely better than cure!
