🎃 Meet Sully! 🐾👻
Looking for something truly terrifying this Halloween? How about 16 paralysis ticks hiding in your dog’s fur… including one inside his ear canal! 😱🕷️
Sully was attacked by another dog while out walking and, frightened, ran off into the bush. After two worrying days, he finally made it home safe and sound! ❤️
Unfortunately, he brought home some unwanted passengers! His owners found four ticks and rushed him straight to My Own Vet, where our nurses discovered plenty more hiding in his coat.
After a not-so-stylish shave, we uncovered and removed a whopping 16 paralysis ticks! 😳 Our nurses were left feeling like phantom ticks were crawling on them for the rest of the day! 👻😂
❤️ A huge shout-out to Sully’s parents for acting so quickly and bringing him straight to My Own Vet! Thanks to their quick action, Sully avoided the potentially serious consequences of having so many paralysis ticks attached to him. 🐶💕
🕷️ The scary takeaway? Paralysis ticks are sneaky little nightmares! Regular, long-acting tick prevention is essential, especially for pets exploring bushland.
Don't let ticks turn your pet's next adventure into a real-life horror story! 🎃🐾
Keep your pet’s tick prevention up to date! ❤️
