💙 HAPPY VET NURSE DAY! 💙

Not all superheroes wear capes… some hold snakes, cuddle patients, calm the scared, assist in surgery, take one for the team and somehow keep everything running through the chaos!

To our incredible nursing team, thank you for the compassion, dedication, strength and heart you bring to PORT VET every single day.

You’re the unsung heroes behind so many wagging tails, purrs, recoveries and happy endings.

Today, we celebrate our superheroes in scrubs. We couldn’t do it without you!

WHEN IT COMES TO PARALYSIS TICKS, SIZE DOES NOT MATTER!

When we say paralysis ticks are about, we’re not kidding.

Just look at this one!
This huge tick was so engorged that it actually fell off our patient before they even made it to the hospital.

These 2 ticks came from two different patients last week. Both pets were badly affected by their ticks, but thankfully, with prompt treatment and care, both were able to make a full recovery.

But here’s the important part…

Don’t get complacent just because a tick is small.
Even tiny paralysis ticks can cause severe illness - and sadly, sometimes death.
So please don’t judge the danger by the size of the tick.

Small tick. BIG danger!

Make sure your pet’s tick prevention is up to date, check them regularly, and if you notice any signs of tick paralysis, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Know the signs of tick paralysis -

Early signs can appear 2–5 days after a paralysis tick begins feeding and can include:
🐾 Weakness or loss of coordination, especially in the hind legs
🐾 Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
🐾 A change in their bark or meow
🐾 Progressive weakness or paralysis of limbs
🐾 Retching, coughing, gagging or vomiting
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait - contact your vet immediately.
