Tick Fever in Dogs – Symptoms & Prevention

Tick fever is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by blood parasites transmitted through tick bites. It can affect dogs of all ages and breeds, and if left untreated, it can lead to severe anaemia, organ damage, or even death. Early detection and prevention are key to keeping your pet safe.

⚠️ Common Symptoms to Watch For:

• Fever & Lethargy: Your dog may seem unusually tired or weak.
• Loss of Appetite: Refusal to eat or reduced food intake.
• Swollen Lymph Nodes: Tender lumps under the jaw, behind the knees, or near the shoulders.
• Pale Gums & Nose Bleeds: Indicating possible anaemia.

🛡 Prevention Tips:

• Perform regular tick checks after outdoor walks or play sessions.
• Use monthly anti-tick treatments such as spot-on solutions, tick collars, or medicated sprays.
• Keep your dog’s bedding and surroundings clean.
