TICK FEVER IN DOGS
TICK FEVER can be notoriously difficult to diagnose, especially during the early stages. Most DOGS don’t make it to a VETERINARIAN until they are already in the chronic stage of the disease, when the symptoms are at their most severe. This is why VETERINARIANS of NOIDA PET CLINIC recommend that if you see an engorged TICK (one that is full of blood) on your DOG , you should have your DOG tested for TICK FEVER around 8 weeks after finding and removing the TICK.
DIAGNOSIS is usually made based on a history of TICKS exposure, what symptoms are present, blood work that shows a low platelet count, and a separate BLOOD TEST that shows whether specific antibodies against the disease are present.
