Dog Parasites - Ticks - Dog Health Issues Dog Health Ticks Dog related information, articles and descriptive, educational videos

Ticks are an external parasite of the dog and can spread diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis. They can also cause a neurological disorder known as tick paralysis. Ticks are external parasites, living by hematophagy on the blood of mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles and amphibians.

Removal: The best way to remove adult Ixodidae is mechanically. After removal, one should inspect the tick's head and mouthparts to ascertain whether they remain attached to the tick's body. If they are not attached, it may be necessary to perform a punch biopsy to remove any parts remaining inside the patient.
